So... With modified extra firmware line, it works for me. Good.

But... it worked before. So that's still a regression and hard to
debug one, and probably going to happen to more users than just
me. Yeah, pilot landed on wrong runway, but this should not lead to
his engines exploding and black box being erased.

What is going on there? Why did it work before?

Is there way we could warn during boot (or suspend) "hey, you need
this firmware for resume"?
