FTR, the firmware has been reverted upstream with:
https://gitlab.com/kernel-firmware/linux-firmware/-/commit/cb465aa0042bc2057579b313f518a80a2207a55c

Quoting the commit:
| Subject: [PATCH] Revert "rtw89: 8852c: update fw to v0.27.125.0"
| 
| Since new format is supported by kernel v6.13 and later, older driver
| can't load this firmware correct. Revert this and re-add this with
| rtw8852c_fw-2.bin by latter commit.
| 
| rtw8852c_fw-1.bin will be kept to v0.27.122.0.

Regards,
Salvatore
