There have also been requests for a MacMini1,1 and MacMini2,1 utility, but the installer file from Apple has only one firmware image in it, so this one I don't understand. I'm also going to work on a utility for the iMac4,1 and iMac5,1, as there is a RAM limit that can broken if the firmware is updated. If I'm successful with that I will post a utility for that, although many people have upgraded the dual core Xeons in the 2006 to quad core Xeons without any ill effects, so I don't know how important this really is.
The M1 version of the Mac mini is limited to 16GB RAM, while the Intel. The SMC version will stay at whatever version it was at before the update, and I'm looking into a SMC firmware tool, as it is also an EFI program that runs during the boot process.

It is unclear if the entry-level Mac mini will also be getting an upgrade. The Intel GMA950 graphics processor uses 80 MB of system memory for the display, so increasing memory beyond 512 MB is a good idea. Everything is left on the RAM disk for you to look at and study, if needed. The 2006 Mac mini was Apple’s first computer to use Intel graphics and the first Mac in a long, long time to use vampire video (that’s where the video bites into system memory). The program creates a small RAM disk, downloads the needed files, copies all of the scripts to the RAM disk, and then runs the scripts.

Everything you need to know about macOS Sierra update, including how to check compatibility, back up your Mac, download and install macOS 10.12 in one macOS upgrade tutorial. The download does not contain any firmware updater files or image files. Get your Mac ready for an upgrade to macOS Sierra. If you have a 2007 Mac Pro, the program will warn you about downgrading, but will still allow the firmware update. The program checks the Mac Pro model and will only install the 2007 Mac Pro firmware on a 2006, or the 2006 Mac Pro firmware on a 2007, whichever is appropriate.

If you have a CPU or CPUs in a 2007 Mac Pro that isn't supported in the 2006 Mac Pro, the system will not boot after the update until a compatible CPU or CPUs are installed.
I have tested this myself, on a 2006 Mac Pro.
