Hi Thorsten,

the patch linked in the bugzilla ticket:

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-media/6f84b7f4-3ede-ae55-e99b-a9d4108c80e2@gmail.com/

should indeed fix the issue. The error was that the rom_id and required
fields were swapped in the table, so the non-zero rom_id was taken as a
"true" required boolean value, thus incorrectly evaluating that the
chip requires a firmware file to operate when in fact it does not.

I have tested the patch and found it worked for me. But I do not know
how to push this further along:

Best Regards,

Betreff: Bug 215726 - si2157.c: mention name of the missing firmware file
Hi, this is your Linux kernel regression tracker.

I noticed a regression report in bugzilla.kernel.org that afaics nobody
acted upon since it was reported about a week ago, that's why I decided
to forward it to the lists and all people that seemed to be relevant
here. To quote from https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=215726 :

> I get the following error messages when trying to use si2157.ko in linux 5.17:
> si2157 13-0060: found a 'Silicon Labs Si2157-A30 ROM 0x50'
> si2157 13-0060: Can't continue without a firmware
> I did work in linux 5.16.16 without a firmware file. Unfortunately the driver does not tell me the name of the missing firmware file.

Could somebody take a look into this? Or was this discussed somewhere
else already? Or even fixed?
