Bug#801514: firmware-realtek: Please include rtl8821a_fw.bin

[Ulrich Klauer <ulrich@chirlu.de>]

Package: firmware-realtek
Version: 0.44
Severity: wishlist

There is an rtl_bt/rtl8821a_fw.bin file in the upstream linux-firmware
repository (added in commit 8e181320b11de501046cf75c8c30915cd09a1e39),
but it is not yet included in the firmware-realtek Debian package. On
the other hand, the newest kernel package already contains the
corresponding changes to make use of this firmware, so when I upgraded
the kernel, my bluetooth controller stopped working. Excerpt from
dmesg:

Bluetooth: hci0: rtl: examining hci_ver=06 hci_rev=000a lmp_ver=06 lmp_subver=8821
Bluetooth: hci0: rtl: loading rtl_bt/rtl8821a_fw.bin
bluetooth hci0: firmware: failed to load rtl_bt/rtl8821a_fw.bin (-2)
bluetooth hci0: Direct firmware load for rtl_bt/rtl8821a_fw.bin failed with error -2
Bluetooth: hci0: Failed to load rtl_bt/rtl8821a_fw.bin

Please include this file in the next package release. For good measure
and in the interest of people using different hardware, the other
firmware blobs from that commit should probably be added, too.
