Or people I should add to CC? This was discussed on another thread: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/87mu3magfp.fsf@tynnyri.adurom.net Unless Intel folks object I'm planning to take this to wireless-drivers-next.

Yes, please, just go ahead and take it. I have the same change in our internal tree, but I didn't have the time to send it out due to my vacations (from which I'm now back). -- Cheers, Luca.

[…] Despite commit 3f4600de8c93 (iwlwifi: yoyo: don't print failure if debug firmware is missing) being in Linux since version 5.9-rc1, I am still seeing this with Debian’s Linux 5.9.9. Kind regards, Paul

Missing this firmware is not fatal, my wifi card still works. Even more, I couldn't find any documentation what it is or where to get it. So, I don't think the users should be notified if it is missing. If you browse the net, you see the message is present is in quite some logs. Better remove it.
