While I have not had a chance to look at those files, if you are
confident that the other (hex or otherwise) data is similar in nature
and purpose to the RE'd protocol data, then I would say go ahead and
mark them as free. Such data is a particularly interesting
(considering the work that goes into it) feature of some drivers, and
it's great that you have given it careful scrutiny.
Of course, names of associated constants, variables, and functions
*might* be quite revealing about whether something is a blob.
