 I've built it with 5.16.4 based one in Debian experimental repository
 and it seems to work (note: build failure with 5.15.15 in Debian unstable).


 How to check:
  1. compress firmware files under /lib/firmware with zstd
  2. boot with distro kernel that is not enable this feature
  3. Wifi that needs firmware doesn't work as expected (*1)
  4. boot with patched kernel
  5. Wifi works :) (*2)
