> the below patch.

FWIW a quick reminder, "[…] updated firmware files must not cause any
regressions for users of older kernel releases." -- that is a quote from
https://docs.kernel.org/driver-api/firmware/firmware-usage-guidelines.html

So fixing this with a kernel patch is nice, but by kernel standards this from
what I see still qualifies as a regression where the firmware change needs to
be reverted to avoid the problem.

That being said: if we assume that this is a corner case that only Bianca and
maybe one or two others hits, then using a patch is fine if it's fine for the
affected people. Is that the case?
