While updating from sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-5.15.41 to 5.15.52 I got kernel compilation error. Kernel config is same (make oldconfig without any changes).

Not sure is it related to the issue, but it looks like older sys-kernel/linux-firmware-20210818 provides more versions including one matching current kernel's version (bnx2-mips-09-6.2.1a):

# qlist '=sys-kernel/linux-firmware-20210818' | grep bnx2-mips
/lib/firmware/bnx2/bnx2-mips-06-4.6.16.fw
/lib/firmware/bnx2/bnx2-mips-06-6.0.15.fw
/lib/firmware/bnx2/bnx2-mips-09-6.0.17.fw
/lib/firmware/bnx2/bnx2-mips-09-5.0.0.j9.fw
/lib/firmware/bnx2/bnx2-mips-09-4.6.17.fw
/lib/firmware/bnx2/bnx2-mips-06-6.2.1.fw
/lib/firmware/bnx2/bnx2-mips-09-6.2.1.fw
/lib/firmware/bnx2/bnx2-mips-09-6.2.1a.fw
/lib/firmware/bnx2/bnx2-mips-09-6.2.1b.fw
/lib/firmware/bnx2/bnx2-mips-06-5.0.0.j6.fw
/lib/firmware/bnx2/bnx2-mips-09-5.0.0.j3.fw
/lib/firmware/bnx2/bnx2-mips-06-5.0.0.j3.fw
/lib/firmware/bnx2/bnx2-mips-06-6.2.3.fw
/lib/firmware/bnx2/bnx2-mips-09-5.0.0.j15.fw

but current sys-kernel/linux-firmware-20220708 provides less versions and don't provide version matching current kernel's version:

# qlist '=sys-kernel/linux-firmware-20220708' | grep bnx2-mips
/lib/firmware/bnx2/bnx2-mips-09-6.2.1b.fw
/lib/firmware/bnx2/bnx2-mips-06-6.2.3.fw

Comment 1 Alex Efros 2022-07-11 14:05:44 UTC

Downgrading from sys-kernel/linux-firmware-20220708 (current stable) to 20220610 (previous stable) has resolved the issue.

This is because you are hardcoding CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE="bnx2/bnx2-mips-09-6.2.1a.fw"
