linux-firmware: Kernel 6.12.7-zen1 requires ibt-17-0-0.sfi but only ibt-17-0-1.sfi is provided

The zen kernel (6.12.7-zen1-1-zen) is looking for intel/ibt-17-0-0.sfi firmware file, but the linux-firmware package only provides ibt-17-0-1.sfi.

System information:

  • Kernel: 6.12.7-zen1-1-zen
  • Hardware: Intel Wireless-AC 9460/9560 Jefferson Peak
  • Current firmware: ibt-17-0-1.sfi

Attempted workarounds that failed:

  • Symbolic link from ibt-17-0-1.sfi to ibt-17-0-0.sfi
  • Direct copy of ibt-17-0-1.sfi to ibt-17-0-0.sfi

Relevant dmesg output:

[ 5.787147] Bluetooth: hci0: No device address configured

[ 5.787605] Bluetooth: hci0: Failed to load Intel firmware file intel/ibt-17-0-0.sfi (-2)

[ 5.788122] Bluetooth: hci0: Reading supported features failed (-56)

The error shows that the kernel is specifically looking for ibt-17-0-0.sfi, despite having ibt-17-0-1.sfi available in /lib/firmware/intel/ as provided by linux-firmware package.
