I'm trying to run my preferred flavour of linux on the new steam deck 
oled and the wireless/bluetooth is not recognized.Based on some dmesg 
output and casual searching I suspect it's the firmware files that don't 
know the specific configuration used in this device. I verified it was 
working on steamos before I re-installed, so I thought I'd send my dmesg 
output here and see if there's anything else I can do to help.

Here's the lspci output as well, just in case:
