The current firmware-sof version 1.6.1-2 can't replace the sof-firmware in our linux-firmware package. At least an important firmware file is missing in the firmware-sof.

I have wrote an email to debian maintainer, he told me he is planning a higher version (1.7), once the 1.7 is ready, we could remove the sof-firmware in the linux-firmware and use the firmware-sof package.

Below is the reply from the maintainer:

Hi Hui,

I hadn't realised that's how it worked 🙂

So I had prepared a 1.7 version a month ago:
https://salsa.debian.org/mpearson/firmware-sof/-/commit/fdce28e87c495ab69c1cdfaaff19bc7aff70af5f

But I wasn't able to get this uploaded as there was a freeze on so the debian maintainer who has been helping me wouldn't take it. I'll see if that's possible now (and likely have to update to the latest...)
