I fear that otherwise more distros and users will run into this regression.

Hi, In discussion threads [1] [2], the new format of 8852b break user space. To avoid this, introduce new filename rtw89/rtw8852b_fw-1.bin that old drivers will not try to load it. Rollback firmware version of rtw89/rtw8852b_fw.bin to the latest version of original format (i.e. v0.27.32.1) supported by old driver. The patches to support new filename in new driver are almost done, and I will submit them soon. Thanks for the advice in mail and bug threads.
