On my brand-new Lenovo Yoga 7 2-in-1 14ILL10 which shares similar hardware including the MediaTek Foxconn / Hon Hai Wireless_Device, I have MANJARO_KDE_2510 installed. Manjaro is a similar Arch derived distribution to EndeavourOS. The “Portable Media Player” shows up and is only a problem if I try to access any of it’s phantom exposed media.
To get everything else working or at least not showing warnings at boot time, I have concentrated on installing firmwares. Only the screen rotation sensor (not a Legion feature) needed to be imported from a Windows install. (https://dnsense.pub/posts/9-book5-sensor-hub/)
Note that the firmwares which installed, detected by the distribution install, should be correct and should not be removed. To get “mkinitcpio -P” to process the kernel packages for boot without warnings some other firmwares need to be found and installed. My current installed list is:
linux-firmware-amdgpu,20250917-1, linux-firmware-ath10k,20250917-1, linux-firmware-broadcom,20250917-1, linux-firmware-cirrus,20250917-1, linux-firmware-intel,20250917-1, linux-firmware-marvell,20250917-1, linux-firmware-mediatek,20250917-1, linux-firmware-meta,20250917-1, linux-firmware-nvidia,20250917-1, linux-firmware-other,20250917-1, linux-firmware-qcom,20250917-1, linux-firmware-qlogic,20250917-1, linux-firmware-radeon,20250917-1, linux-firmware-realtek,20250917-1, linux-firmware-whence,20250917-1, aic94xx-firmware,30-10,AUR, ast-firmware,501-1,AUR, wd719x-firmware,1-9,AUR.
Some firmwares are likely not used so should not cause any problems, just use a little disk space. The Mediatek firmware for the mt7925e loads and bluetooth works normally apart from this media drive issue.
Claude AI helped me write the udev and KDE solid rules and an instal script to manage both detection and kde/dolphin places. Your USB device ID may need to be changed and the device path(s) updated.
Now these phantom media locations are hidden avoiding user interaction and errors! Remember this is a fix, a firmware solution may solve this better upstream.

Complete udev rules to hide MediaTek wireless adapter from KDE device lists
==============================================================================
Device: MediaTek Inc. Wireless_Device (USB ID 0489:e111)
Location: Internal USB port 3-6
Purpose: Prevent internal Bluetooth/WiFi adapter from appearing as removable
media device in KDE system tray, Dolphin, and device notifier
==============================================================================
PARENT DEVICE (3-6)

ENV{SOLID_IGNORE}=“1”,
TAG+=“uaccess”, TAG-=“uaccess”
USB INTERFACES (3-6:1.0, 3-6:1.1, 3-6:1.2)
Hide all USB interfaces by matching vendor/product attributes
SUBSYSTEM==“usb”, ATTRS{idVendor}==“0489”, ATTRS{idProduct}==“e111”,

ENV{UDISKS_IGNORE}=“1”,
ENV{ID_MEDIA_PLAYER}=“”,
ENV{ID_MTP_DEVICE}=“”,
ENV{ID_GPHOTO2}=“”,

SPECIFIC PORT MATCH
Catch any device on this specific USB port

ENV{SOLID_IGNORE}=“1”
==============================================================================
What these rules do:
- UDISKS_IGNORE=1 : Hide from UDisks2 (disk manager)
- ID_MEDIA_PLAYER=“” : Remove media player identification
- ID_MTP_DEVICE=“” : Remove MTP (Media Transfer Protocol) tag
- ID_GPHOTO2=“” : Remove camera/photo device tag
- ID_INPUT=“” : Remove input device tag
- SOLID_IGNORE=1 : Hide from KDE Solid device framework
- TAG-=“uaccess” : Remove user access tag (prevents auto-mounting)
