    And we just got the 3th bug report for this in 2 days:

    https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1772498#c240

    Again after an upgrade to Fedora 32 (I guess people were
    sticking with an older kernel on F31).

    I think we should consider also adding the Requires to
    the F32 kernel-modules and rely on the comps thing for
    F33 and later only.


I am not particularly happy with having to add it when the majority of systems do not actually require it, but I have seen the bugs and understand the position we are in. The alsa-sof-firmware package is 384k, I think adding it might be the best course of action.

I don't have any objection against this proposal, too.
