I have this:
ubuntu@jgarry-ubuntu-bm5-instance-20230215-1843:~/mnt/linux2$ more 
/lib/udev/rules.d/50-firmware.rules
# stub for immediately telling the kernel that userspace firmware loading
# failed; necessary to avoid long timeouts with 
CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER=y
SUBSYSTEM=="firmware", ACTION=="add", ATTR{loading}="-1"

So I can remove it.

checking linux-next in general.
