We can try harder urging the vendors to release the firmware update
(there are other firmware bugs those the kernel cannot deal with anyway)
but in many cases the users just complain "hey your distro doesn't boot"
to the distro maintainers.  And some rogue ODM/OEM tend to ignore any
reports relayed by the distro maintainers unless the distro pays some
thousands of dollar.

Thus IMO it's better to make the system at least bootable with a message
(the pr_warn_once line in the patch) to clearly indicate the users that
they need a firmware update, and the vendors may become motivated a
little with more users complaining directly.
