Temporary workaround:

```
# This is an official source, despite the less common url
wget http://launchpadlibrarian.net/543359934/linux-firmware_1.187.15_all.deb

# Remove linux-firmware 1.187.16
sudo apt purge linux-firmware

# Install linux-firmware .deb
sudo dpkg -i linux-firmware_1.187.15_all.deb

# Hold linux-firmware package to stop updates replacing 1.187.15
sudo apt-mark hold linux-firmware

# Verify installed version
apt policy linux-firmware
```

Once a fixed version of linux-firmware is out the following will need to be run:

```
sudo apt-mark unhold linux-firmware
```

I can reproduce this with TGL platform, AX210 [8086:2725] subsystem [8086:0020], kernel linux-hwe-5.11 and linux-oem-5.10.

linux-oem-5.13 works for me, but somehow it claimed otherwise in bug 1943918.

This should have been addressed in v5.13-rc1 that bumped FW API to 63.

I think there is a defect in iwlwifi-ty-a0-gf-a0.pnvm that its existence would force older kernels to use FW API 63 or so. The current pnvm file cannot be loaded along with -59 firmware even with v5.15-rc2 kernel, and we'd need -63 fw for ADL platforms anyway.

A subsequent update has resolved this issue, roughly corresponding with the release of the 5.13 kernel if I remember correctly.
