adding the option "--before no_reset" seems to solve the issue with kernel 5.11.0-37
esptool --before no_reset --chip esp8266 --port /dev/ttyUSB0 --baud 115200 write_flash 0x0000 firmware.bin
Even if I do not understand the why, this solves the issue for me.
Correction: Sorry for the too optimistic update. This solves the issue not reliably. The behavior with the 5.11.0-37 seems to be unpredictable (at least for me).
