Do I need any of these enabled for linux-firmware to load properly in
Kernel 5.6?

 -*- Firmware loading facility
  │ │                                      ()    Build named firmware
blobs into the kernel binary
  │ │                                      [ ]   Enable the firmware
sysfs fallback mechanism
  │ │                                      [ ]   Enable compressed
firmware support

Best
Zeno
