From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Sorry, for the delay, - sleep. These are the places I check, but I am no expert kernel dev or anything.
I had a similar-ish issue in an embedded Arch yesterday. Apparently there was an upstream change in the organization of Linux firmware. It was in the pacman manual intervention news feed from a few months ago, like October I think. Anyways, I just had to update that Arch build by removing the Nvidia firmware. The arch instructions were to delete all entries in Linux-firmware and rebuild them with pacman after a -Syu update. I am on obscure hardware on that device, and the error I was getting was specifically related to the older Nvidia firmware modules. So I only removed them and it resolved my issue. IIRC, the Arch news mentioned something about how these firmware files got relocated upstream. Maybe this was not resolved correctly for your firmware by the Fedora packagers.
Thanks for help.
