[FIRMWARE] Regression on rtw89/rtw8852b_fw.bin by the latest update

[Takashi Iwai]

Hi,

we've received a regression report on openSUSE Tumbleweed about the
Realtek WiFi, and the culprit was spotted to be the latest firmware
update of rtw89/rtw8852b_fw.bin.  The former working linux-firmware
tree was at the commit 5c11a3742947, while broken at 5bc279fb161d.

The details are found in:
  https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1209449

Could you check the problem?
(Or feel free to join to the bugzilla entry above.)


Thanks!

Takashi

FWIW, I already CCed Josh on the following bug yesterday in a comment
where I suggested the updated firmware should be reverted:

https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=217207

But it's likely a good idea to write a normal mail, so thx for that!

FWIW, the issue is also discussed here:
