Apparently some new (AMD) kernel files have been backported to the 6.1 branch,
which causes it to request firmware files which didn't exist when 6.1 was
released. 
I've reassigned and changed this bug report into a request for a backport of
newer firmware files for Bookworm, although I'm not so sure that's a good idea.

While it may look alarming, it's highly likely harmless. Just noisy.
