It is but if the radio driver was open source then the interface with the radio SoC would be documented.

Right now it is the worst of both worlds. Closed interface for a closed undocumented chip able to execute arbitrary code.

The interface isn't closed anymore, is it? [1]

Drivers don't need to be open source to interact with GPLed code.
