I had something similar with a VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA 
Corporation G84 [GeForce 8600 GT] (rev a1)

YaST2/mkinitrd.log:W: Possible missing firmware 
"nvidia/gm204/acr/bl.bin" for kernel module "nouveau.ko"
Same message for all .bin files on openSUSE Tumbleweed.

The files were all there under /lib/firmware/nvidia/gm204.
Forcing a reinstall of the kernel-firmware package solved it.
Regards
Sid.
