It was /run/udev/firmware-missing/*, udev cannot access /var. All of that is gone and will not come back, udev has no idea about device firmware and does no longer want to know about it. There is no way to tell these days what firmware was requested or loaded, it's all happening in the kernel only. Unless we want to invent a mechanism to queue up/log that information in the kernel and communicate that to userspace, you can just delete all the code that handles this in userspace.
