After sending out 5.12.17 for testing, we had a user complain that all
of their USB devices disappeared with the error:
Jul 15 23:18:53 kernel: xhci_hcd 0000:04:00.0: Direct firmware load
for renesas_usb_fw.mem failed with error -2
Jul 15 23:18:53 kernel: xhci_hcd 0000:04:00.0: request_firmware failed: -2
Jul 15 23:18:53 kernel: xhci_hcd: probe of 0000:04:00.0 failed with error -2
After first assuming that something was missing in the backport to
5.12, I had the user try 5.13.2, and then 5.14-rc1. Both of those
failed in the same way, so it is not working in the current Linus tree
either. Reverting this patch fixed the issue.
