=E2=80=9CDEBLOBBED=E2=80=9D would suggest that Linux-libre=E2=80=99s deblob=
bing script viewed it
as an opaque binary blob and thus patched it, which may be an issue
here, no?

I assume you used the firmware packages that Leo copied.  Could you get
its author to submit it?  :-)

What=E2=80=99s your GuixSD OS config like?  You must make sure to list the
firmware packages in the =E2=80=98firmware=E2=80=99 field, as noted at:

  https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/html_node/operating_002dsystem-R=
eference.html#index-firmware

Is this part OK?

Thanks,
