Description Mészáros Csaba 2021-07-24 17:34:13 CEST

There is a USB3 PCI card in the machine.
$ lspci
03:00.0 USB controller: Renesas Technology Corp. uPD720201 USB 3.0 Host Controller (rev 03)

It still worked well with the previous 5.10.48 kernel, and if I load it it still works, But not with the newer 5.10.52 anymore.
It says at the beginning of the boot that it cannot load the firmware:
Direct firmware load for renesas_usb_fw.mem failed with error -2

Here is the relevant journalctl -b0 detail:
xhci_hcd 0000:03:00.0: Direct firmware load for renesas_usb_fw.mem failed with error -2
xhci_hcd 0000:03:00.0: request_firmware failed: -2
xhci_hcd: probe of 0000:03:00.0 failed with error -2

Yeah, there is a broken patch in upstream stable kernels that I reverted in 5.13 series kernels, but I missed that it also had been backported to 5.10 series in 5.10.50 :(

I will revert it for next kernel build

There is now a  kernel-5.10.53-1.mga8 in Core Updates Testing that you can try

Thanks for the speed. The USB3 card works again.

Hi guys!

Unfortunately, there seems to be a problem with this renesas again.
It still works with the 5.10.60 kernel. But after that, he runs into problems.

logs:
5.10.60 kernel - all ok.
