Re: acr: failed to load firmware with Kernel 5.6. Kernel 5.5 works just fine.

Ben -- probably the ACR changes in 5.6 don't fall back nicely anymore
when there's no firmware? The load shouldn't be failed, just GR
disabled...

Zeno -- if you grab linux-firmware, it should be all better. Not sure
if you're missing it on purpose or by accident.
