Firstly, thank you for the insightful reply, Denis.  Arch ARM ships
more up-to-date packages I think.  At the time I wrote this, it is
shipping:
* Kernel 5.4.45
* linux-firmware 20200519.8ba6fa6
* firmware-raspberrypi 6
* raspberrypi-firmware 20200614

I am pleased to open a ticket upstream but am unsure which package or
packages would require the update.  Are you aware of any changes that
might be needed to the kernel config itself (ie easily made in the
kernel .config) to support SAE and/or PMF?  I didn't find any
documentation.  Failing that, perhaps the raspberrypi-firmware is a
good place to start.

For reference, the linux-raspberrypi4 kernel config for Arch ARM can
be seen here: https://github.com/archlinuxarm/PKGBUILDs/blob/master/core/linux-raspberrypi4/config

Thank you again for the reply and for any future ideas you wish to share.
