Firmware for MT7922 missing in initrd; bluetooth disabled after update

Firmware for MT7922 missing in initrd; bluetooth disabled after update

[Jürgen Hofmann]

Hi everybody,

I updated openSuse Tumbleweed 20230806 with a bluetooth keyboard 
attached to the PC. After the update to 20230808 and rebooting bluetooth 
was disabled and it was impossible to enable it again. Before the update 
bluetooth was working fine.

The attached bluetooth keyboard caused the bluetooth module being added 
to initrd. However, the corresponding firmware for MT7922 is not added.

dmesg shows:

[    4.368031] bluetooth hci0: Direct firmware load for 
mediatek/BT_RAM_CODE_MT7922_1_1_hdr.bin failed with error -2

In fact the file is present on the system

ls -l /usr/lib/firmware/mediatek/BT_RAM_CODE*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 512104  3. Aug 17:36 
/usr/lib/firmware/mediatek/BT_RAM_CODE_MT7922_1_1_hdr.bin.xz
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 343052  3. Aug 17:36 
/usr/lib/firmware/mediatek/BT_RAM_CODE_MT7961_1_2_hdr.bin.xz

but missing in initrd

lsinitrd | grep BT_RAM_CODE
-rw-r--r--   1 root     root       343052 Aug  3 17:36 
usr/lib/firmware/mediatek/BT_RAM_CODE_MT7961_1_2_hdr.bin.xz

Manually adding the file to initrd makes bluetooth work again.

I reported the bug here
https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1214133
and was requested to report here.

If I can be of any help or you need further information please let me know.

Thanks and kind regards

Jürgen

Sorry, I do not know what software versions changed updating to openSUSE 
Tumbleweed. Could you please mention that for the Linux kernel and BlueZ 
and the initrd generator?

 From Qu’s answer in the thread *[PATCH v3 1/2] Bluetooth: btusb: Add 
new VID/PID 0489/e102 for MT7922* [1] it sounds to me, support for chip 
was only added recently, and is going to be in Linux v6.6.


Kind regards,

Paul

The problem is rather the lack of MODULE_FIRMWARE() declarations for
the corresponding device.  The device itself already works fine as is
with the current upstream kernel as long as the firmware file is
present on the system.  But as dracut puts only the firmware file
listed in MODULE_FIRMWARE() into initrd, it starts failing once when
you build an initrd containing the BT.


thanks,

Takashi

I think this is a different one.

The new pid (0xe102) is only introduced in some recent laptops (with 
ryzen 7040 series CPUs I guess?).

Unless the user is compiling a custom kernel with the extra vid/pid 
added, it should not work from the very beginning.
Thus I believe it's something different.

from all I can tell (and understand), the analysis from Takashi about 
the missing MODULE_FIRMWARE() declarations is correct.

Thanks,

Jürgen
