after a recent serises of updates I noticed that my laptops battery monitor was not working. after digging it came down to missing firmware. with 060 I have in the initramfs /usr/lib/modules/6.8.6-300.fc40.aarch64/kernel/drivers/remoteproc /usr/lib/modules/6.8.6-300.fc40.aarch64/kernel/drivers/remoteproc/qcom_common.ko.xz /usr/lib/modules/6.8.6-300.fc40.aarch64/kernel/drivers/remoteproc/qcom_pil_info.ko.xz /usr/lib/modules/6.8.6-300.fc40.aarch64/kernel/drivers/remoteproc/qcom_q6v5.ko.xz /usr/lib/modules/6.8.6-300.fc40.aarch64/kernel/drivers/remoteproc/qcom_q6v5_pas.ko.xz /usr/lib/modules/6.8.6-300.fc40.aarch64/kernel/drivers/remoteproc/qcom_sysmon.ko.xz modules that were not there in 059. It is better that they are in the initrd as when booting from USB you have to blacklist qcom_q6v5_pas to prevent the USB storage from disconnecting and reconnecting changing device node after mounting. however it needs firmware. In my case, I need two of the files in /lib/firmware/qcom/sc8280xp/LENOVO/21BX/; however, a 3rd is needed by the MSM driver. So all 4 should be included for completeness. The needed files end in .mbn in Fedora's and some other distros cases they are xz compressed, so are .mbn.xz there are other files for other systems in the qcom portion of the firmware tree Reproducible: Always
