Mandate open source firmware.
This should have been done long ago but now it's creating problems even for the government. There is no legitimate reason for non-free firmware.

That's a long way to ask if you mean all firmware, or if you think some devices are more public security sensitive.
If you sell me a piece of hardware, you should owe me any software required to make it perform to its original spec. Simple as that.
Yes.
Some systems do require secrets, that's what cryptography is for. The algorithms are generally open and audited, and only the minimum (the keys) are kept secret.
Wouldn't mind ALL firmware, but also clearly some device categories are also more crucial than others.
