[arch-general] Any package providing "ast" firmware?
Hello !
Just as the "subject" indicates, any package providing "ast" firmware? On [1], I don't see it referenced, and "ast" is way too common for a quick search on the repos and AUR, :)
Thanks !

Isn't the kernel module 'ast' provided in the Linux kernel enough for this device?
$ find /usr/lib/modules/$(uname -r) -type f -name 'ast.ko.zst' /usr/lib/modules/6.0.9-arch1-1/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/ast/ast.ko.zst
$ pacman -Qo /usr/lib/modules/6.0.9-arch1-1/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/ast/ast.ko.zst /usr/lib/modules/6.0.9-arch1-1/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/ast/ast.ko.zst is owned by linux 6.0.9.arch1-1

From `modinfo ast`, the file you are looking for is ast_dp501_fw.bin.
A Google Drive link mentioned in https://serverfault.com/q/755194 seems to be the only place to acquire the firmware file.

I'm seeing the ast module reported as missing during the linux fallback mkinitcpio build, but NOT during the regular linux mkinitcpio build.

OK, according to the bug report indirectly linked, it seems harmless.
Thanks !
