Secure Boot can sometimes interfere with the firmware loading process. Try disabling Secure Boot in your system's BIOS settings.
The "exclusive" part usually implies that the driver is attempting to claim the hardware in a way that is currently blocked or conflicted, often due to a mismatch between your running kernel and the installed firmware blobs.

Update the Linux Firmware Package Secure Boot can sometimes interfere with the firmware
