Hi,

As discussed before the new SOF audio driver needed for audio to
function properly on recent Intel based laptops needs the
alsa-sof-firmware package.

For F32 this has been added to comps, but for F31 and for people
upgrading from F31, we are still getting bug reports that audio
does not work with newer kernels, see e.g. :

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1806334

So we need to do something for F31 ASAP (and rely on people fully
updating F31 before upgrading to fix upgrades to F32).

A distro-sync or system update should sync to the latest comps
additions so it should get pulled in as part of one of the supported
upgrade processes.

I don't know about the dnf system-upgrade plugin but I'm pretty
sure that distro-sync does not care about comps.

Regardless of the upgrade question though, we need to add the
Requires to fix sound breaking for people who are sticking with
F31 for now.

My proposal still is to add a:

Requires: alsa-sof-firmware

To the F31 (and F30) kernel-modules sub-package.

If I receive no objections to this I will add this change
to distgit soon , so that it can be picked up by the next
kernel build.

Or even better if the maintainer of the current F30/F31
kernel can do this before the next build, that would be
great.

Regards,

Hans
