Details
5 years ago, systemd dropped support for userspace firmware
loading (using udev). Since then, the README [0] recommends
to disable the kernel option CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER.
The current linux package version 5.0.8.arch1-1 [1] and
linux-lts 4.19.34-1 [1] still have that option enabled.
For what it's worth, debian disabled that option years ago with bug #718975 [3].
