I originally used firmware 5.0.0. Then I have tried 9.9.6 I have lying
around here from my distro. That version behaves like the old 5.0.0
version. Finally I switched to 9.9.11 from current linux-firmware
repository. That doesn't work at all for me unfortunately:

This goes on forever. I finally tried 9.9.10 and 9.9.9, they also behave
like 9.9.11.

No luck today :(
