A bug was created for new package - https://bugs.debian.org/960788
I studied the different options time ago, Fedora ships it's own
separate package, Ubuntu merges it into firmware-linux-nonfree,
firmware could also be built but dependencies would be hard to
package/maintain - as I understood - those need a forked xtensa
compiler.
As I understood Maks was given a laptop by Lenovo to test the update
and he was going to package sof firmware within firmware-linux-nonfree
- which apparently has not happened yet.
If we want to support these laptops in bullseye we need to ship such firmware.
