[fedora-arm] Re: Lenovo X13s Firmware Load Issues on Kernel 6.8.7-300

The move from dracut 059 to 060 led to some additional modules being
in the initrd. A workaround is to add a dracut config snippet that
includes the firmware in the initrd. after putting the file in
/etc/dracut.conf.d/ you will need to rebuild the initrd. ideally the
driver should try and reload the firmware once the root filesystem
becomes available. a side effect of the modules being included in the
initrd is that USB booting should work without the need blacklist
qcom_q6v5_pas as it is what has been included and works here. What is
not clear to me currently is if usb would work correctly without the
firmware.
