And there is still no Navi firmware in the linux-firmware repository. Once Linux 5.3 gets released and is picked up by distributions, a corresponding linux-firmware release with Navi firmware needs to be in place.

Why is it still missing? cc bridgman ?

I really hope ASoC patches get merged before 5.3 is released, as upstream is 4 weeks behind the for_linus ASoC branch.
Currently, upstream has broken audio on many baytrail/braswell Chromebooks, ASoC branch has it fixed.
