As far as I know, these modules are for ‘old’ RAID controllers and such - so you are unlikely to have need of the firmware.

All you really need to know - they are just warnings - and are completely ignorable. After a while, it will just be a marker that lets you know where you are in the update process

If you do not use hardware which uses these firmwares you can safely ignore this message.

this question comes up every week as long as I use arch
firmware names change from time to time but arch has always some that are not included
