I did add support for new FW APIs, so maybe some check for the FW
version is missing somewhere.
Which NIC are you using? I can see that you're using an older version
of the firmware (27.455470.0). For 7265D and 3168 we already have
version 29. For 8000C and 8260 we have vesion 36. You can find all
the latest versions in our fork of linux-firmware.git[1]. And soon the
main linux-firmware.git[2] will also include the latest versions, since
I sent a pull request yesteday ago.
Meanwhile, I'll investigate this problem. It shouldn't happen even if
you're using an older firmware. Maybe I'll have to stop supporting
version 27 in newer kernels, let's see.
