There is the OpenFWWF project, though that doesn't seem to be 
focussed on supporting many models, it looks like it can effectively 
drive the older BCM4xxx chips well enough. Updating the code to work 
on newer chips like the BCM4329 might be a (relatively) easy way to 
sort the firmware problem out for many newish phones, but it 
certainly isn't an area I have enough knowledge or skill to do more 
than talk about.
