    Just realized the message below doesn't end up on debian-kernel@l.d.o
    but as I think it *is* a kernel bug, forwarding it there.

    It seems nothing will make you understand an issue faster than filing your first ever Debian bug about it :)

    I noticed just now that the firmware loading *will* fall back to the correct file, it just happens after it has emitted the error lines:

    [ 4.069026] ccp 0000:4a:00.1: firmware: failed to load amd/amd_sev_fam17h_model31h.sbin (-2)
    [ 4.069293] firmware_class: See https://wiki.debian.org/Firmware for information about missing firmware
    [ 4.069597] ccp 0000:4a:00.1: firmware: failed to load amd/amd_sev_fam17h_model31h.sbin (-2)
    [ 4.070002] ccp 0000:4a:00.1: firmware: direct-loading firmware amd/amd_sev_fam17h_model3xh.sbin
    [ 4.102461] ccp 0000:4a:00.1: SEV API:0.24 build:16

    This is made somewhat more difficult to notice by the error lines being highlighted and the lines indicating success not. So while my proposed symlinks do eliminate the error output in red, they wouldn’t affect actual functionality.

    I think this issue can be closed.

    AFAICT this is actually https://bugs.debian.org/1040738, which makes it a kernel bug. As the maintainer has reassigned/merged #1051635 into this one
    and thus to the amd64-microcode package, I'll leave reassigning it to src:linux over to (one of) the maintainer(s).
