Dear Linux folks,


Onn the Dell XPS 13 9360 with Debian sid/unstable, Linux 6.5.10 logs the error below:

$ sudo dmesg | grep -e "DMI:" -e "Linux version" -e microcode
[ 0.000000] microcode: updated early: 0xf0 -> 0xf4, date = 2023-02-22

As it’s logged with error level, I’d like to address the ath10k_pci errors, but I am unable to find the firmware in the Linux firmware archive [1].

What can I do about this?


Kind regards,

Paul
