The kernel from Testing could transitively pull in other packages from Testing 
which may result in the best course of action being upgrading entirely to 
Testing, which I guess is not what you want.
I'm quite sure that problem will not happen with firmware packages from 
Testing. I can understand it's more convenient to have firmware packages in 
backports too, but it should be quite safe to grab just *firmware* packages 
from Testing.
