#77035 — Bug#1023863: firmware: failed to load brcm/brcmfmac43455-sdio.raspberrypi,3-model-b-plus.bin (-2)

Package: firmware-brcm80211
Version: 20221012-1
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: pkg-raspi-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org

With a freshly made RPi 3 Bookworm image (with [1]) I booted up my
RPi 3B+ and noticed the following error in `dmesg`:

[   19.801109] brcmfmac mmc1:0001:1: firmware: failed to load brcm/brcmfmac43455-sdio.raspberrypi,3-model-b-plus.bin (-2)

does not seem to have a file with that name though, but I've seen in
other places where a symlink was made.
Not sure if that's what missing here though.
If the kernel incorrectly reports this issue, please reassign.

The (cabled) network *does* work though, but as dmesg classified it
as an error, I've set the severity to normal.

Cheers,

Hi Diederik,

changes were made to the Kernel so now each of the files is requested
board-specifc first, in your case:
   brcm/brcmfmac43455-sdio.raspberrypi,3-model-b-plus.bin
   brcm/brcmfmac43455-sdio.raspberrypi,3-model-b-plus.txt
   brcm/brcmfmac43455-sdio.raspberrypi,3-model-b-plus.clm_blob
and if not existent, falling back to the regular ones:
   brcm/brcmfmac43455-sdio.bin (symbolic link to
cypress/cyfmac43455-sdio.bin)
   brcm/brcmfmac43455-sdio.txt (not existing -> different topic)
   brcm/brcmfmac43455-sdio.clm_blob (symbolic link to
cypress/cyfmac43455-sdio.clm_blob

currently only the board-specific .txt files (NVRAM settings) are available
in the bullseye / bullseye-backports packages, see:
https://packages.debian.org/bullseye/all/firmware-brcm80211/filelist

based on the popularity of the Raspberry Pi models, the missing symbolic
links might be added sooner or later.
for the time being you can add them manually:
   cd  /lib/firmware/brcm/
   sudo ln -s ../cypress/cyfmac43455-sdio.bin
brcmfmac43455-sdio.raspberrypi,3-model-b-plus.bin
   sudo ln -s ../cypress/cyfmac43455-sdio.clm_blob
brcmfmac43455-sdio.raspberrypi,3-model-b-plus.clm_blob
(both files, even if your Kernel 6.0.0-3 only requests per-board .bin files)

With the recent Kernel version firmware_request_nowarn() is used for the
board-specifc files, so those errors shouldn't be logged.
-> I will do some testing with fallback files to verify this.

In my case it's a bit more complicated involving a bug with space
characters in the debian-installer and a nonexistent clm_blob file for
brcmfmac43340, see #1030519
