The key point is if certification is possible for a device that allows arbitrary software to be run or not. If it is, we have your scenario. If it isn't, it's not possible. I don't know if the former case is true for all countries, I certainly know that the market overall believes it's not, or not worth the hassle of arguing it with other companies and regulators.

As I understand it the manufacturers need to release only the information, nowhere GPLv3 says that the manufacturer should make the process of running custom software easy or economically viable, just that the information should be available.
But as I've said I'm no law expert and I wouldn't put my hand on fire about it.
