[SOLVED]I was updating my kernel but I got these warnings

hello
Today I upgraded to Kernel: 5.16.4-arch1-1
when it was updating it shows these warnings:

==> WARNING: Possibly missing firmware for module: xhci_pci
  -> Running build hook: [filesystems]
  -> Running build hook: [keyboard]
  -> Running build hook: [fsck]
==> Generating module dependencies

Re: [SOLVED]I was updating my kernel but I got these warnings

These warnings are normal if you did not install the linux-firmware package. It has nothing to do with the kernel upgrade.

Maybe OP should check the archlinux home page for news about important changes.

Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.

clean chroot building not flexible enough ?
Try clean chroot manager by graysky
