Annoying, but utterly harmless AFAIK.

It seems that this driver does not correctly recognize whether it
actually needs the firmware or not. If the device works for you and if
you do not have any boot delays then I would not worry about this too
much.

I have no idea either. LVS = Linux Virtualization Support? Are you
running this instance of Debian in a VM?

This problem is the most serious one. Line 868 in the postinst script
tries to execute "run-parts" on the /etc/kernel/postinst.d directory and
it fails for some reason. So the first question is: Which files are in
that directory on your system? (names, properties, are they executable,
etc...)
