You might want to consider to use upstream's python script to build
an up-to-date firmware package for Debian. Clone

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git

check out the most recent tag, and run the script, eg

% cd linux-firmware
% git checkout 20240811
% env TMPDIR=/local/tmp ./build_packages.py --deb
dpkg-source --before-build .
debian/rules clean
debian/rules binary
dpkg-genbuildinfo --build=binary -O../linux-firmware-upstream_20240811_amd64.buildinfo
dpkg-genchanges --build=binary -O../linux-firmware-upstream_20240811_amd64.changes
dpkg-source --after-build .
Built package: dist/linux-firmware-upstream_20240811_all.deb

TMPDIR should be set because the package is pretty huge and /tmp
might not fit. AFAICT this package can be installed without conflict
to the other firmware packages.

Hi,

would it be possible to have linux-nonfree backported to bookworm? I'd
be happy to help, if needed.

The firmware in bookworm is not recent enough for some of the AMD GPUs launched in mid-2023. But I'm sure that there is other hardware that
would also benefit from a more recent backport.

I did a successful test build in bookworm environment.

I do intend to backport firmware-nonfree, but I need to get a fix for
the initramfs-tools symlink duplication bug into stable first.

Ben.
