With the linux-firmware package splitting up, is there a way to find out which sub-packages are needed by the system?
I have a rough idea based on the GPU and network card, but I'm worried about missing something.
I searched online but there doesn't seem to be a way to get a definitive list, besides the fact that if a firmware is missing the dmesg probably will complain down the road...

Thanks!
And indeed don't forget peripherals, those use firmware on the system too (dmesg shows missing firmware after they are plugged in).
