cirrus/cs35l41 'Cannot Initialize Firmware. Error: -22'

[Vladimir Drozdik]

Hi,

What did you try to accomplish?
install debian bookworm on Lenovo Legion 7 16ACHg6

What has happened (wrongly) instead?
a) multiple errors in boot log saying 'failed to load
cirrus/cs35l41...wmf', and after fix attempt 'invalid magic' and 'Cannot
Initialize Firmware. Error: -22'
b) sound is working, but on shutdown there is 'static burst' from speakers
c) when open laptop after suspend there two errors saying suspend and
smth else not supported, and only hard reset hepls

What environment are you using?
$ uname -a
Linux debian 6.1.0-8-amd64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Debian 6.1.25-1
(2023-04-22) x86_64 GNU/Linux
gnome 43.4

What did you try to find the cause?
I did steps from 'Firmware missing from Debian' from debian wiki, that
fixed couple rows, then Reddit suggested to symlink .bin to .wmfw, that
fixed most missing files erros but firmware can not be started

Are there error message or log files?

a) initial

Hi Vladimir,

As you've found, Debian doesn't yet distribute firmware for the Cirrus
CS35L41, although there is an open bugreport to add support for it
that you can subscribe to:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1031912

The recommended symlinks to create after installing firmware directly
from linux-firmware.git can be found in the 'WHENCE' file in the base
directory of that repository (this isn't yet documented in the wiki,
and the format of that file may change in the nearish future).

Please double-check the symlinks you've created against the 'cs35l41'
'Link' entries in that file, and if necessary, make any adjustments to
match. Mismatches there are my best guess at the cause of the
firmware loading failures at the moment.

Thanks,
James
