This means the driver doesn't support this variant of the hardware.
It's not a firmware problem.
That appears to be fixed in 5.12 by:
commit 5d6651fe85837b11564a2e2c3c6279c057d078d6
Author: Guo-Feng Fan <vincent_fann@realtek.com>

rtw88: 8821c: support RFE type2 wifi NIC
but that may depend on other changes.
