FWIW, that can't be the only solution for that problem, as
Documentation/driver-api/firmware/firmware-usage-guidelines.rst clearly
states:

"""
Users switching to a newer kernel should *not* have to install newer
firmware files to keep their hardware working.
"""

Could anyone from mediatek please confirm that this rule is adhered?

Side note: I wonder if Peter's patch
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240415141922.25055-1-peter.tsao@mediatek.com/
("Bluetooth: btusb: Fix the patch for MT7920 the affected to MT7921") is
relevant for this.

Ciao, Thorsten (wearing his 'the Linux kernel's regression tracker' hat)
