Yes you are right, it should probably be something like the

Requires: alsa-sof-firmware

Does anyone know, how the iwl*-firmware files are installed?
I cannot find any
dependency in kernel nor linux-firmware rpms. It's similar.
It's done via comps.
Hmm that does not really help here as the mean case we are trying
to
fix is F31 users upgrading from kernel 5.4 to 5.5.
So thinking more about this, I guess we should only add the explicit
requires to the kernel package for F31 (and F30) and add it to comps
for F32+, this way F30 / F31 users will get the package through
the requires (and keep it on upgrade to F32+) and fresh F32 installs
will also get it this way.
And this way we do not have to live forever with a Requires which
will
cause issues for efforts to make minimal installs as small as
possible.
I think if we use Recommends dnf will install it by default, but it's
not a dependency error if it's not installed[0].

Right, that will work too and indeed is a better idea, at least for F30 + F31.
The question is what do we want to do for F32+ ?
1. Add alsa-sof-firmware to comps, similar to how iwlwifi is handled
2. Use the same Recommends as we are doing for F30 + F31 ?
I would personally prefer 2, but then we should probably consider
doing the same for iwlwifi for consistency.

Hans
