A bug was created for new package - https://bugs.debian.org/960788 I studied the different options time ago, Fedora ships it's own separate package, Ubuntu merges it into firmware-linux-nonfree, firmware could also be built but dependencies would be hard to package/maintain - as I understood - those need a forked xtensa compiler. As I understood Maks was given a laptop by Lenovo to test the update and he was going to package sof firmware within firmware-linux-nonfree - which apparently has not happened yet. If we want to support these laptops in bullseye we need to ship such firmware. Regards -- Héctor Orón -.. . -... .. .- -. -.. . ...- . .-.. --- .--. . .-.
