You can install linux-firmware-qlogic to get rid of those errors, but unless you actually have qlogic stuff, you shouldn’t be worried about those warnings.

Neither my keyboard nor my trackpad are working after the update.
Used Timeshift from a live USB to restore. Will check logs soon.
I also can reproduce that. Interesting though: These warnings only occur with the fallback initcpios not the regular ones. Shouldn’t the fallbacks include less stuff than the regular initcpios?

nope, fallback skips autodetect hook (which only loads detected modules) and proceeds to load all modules, hence why you get these drivers as missing.

Thanks a lot for clarification.
Meanwhile, I did some research and found a way to get rid of these warnings altogether: Arch Linux mkinitcpio: Possibly missing firmware for module · GitHub
Of course, this will only work if you are not using any SCSI hardware on your rig (which, probably, will be true for most of us here).
Small advantage: Leaving out all the SCSI drivers in the initcpio build process, will speed things up a little bit when running mkinitcpio -P.
For convenience, here’s a patch doing the changes discussed.

FYI, older kernels were dropped because of
I have a 1660 and would ;like to know if need to be concerned about this right now, right? Thanks
I had to install the Renesas firmware in my case. → Renesas firmware for xhci_pci
The firmware is in the AUR.
What are your concerns? What is your issue?
in addition to the changes mentioned i also saw, “sd_mod? sr_mod?” being omitted in the SCSI-less configuration.
decided to keep things as is, building fallback-initramfs with less drivers will indeed take slightly less time and will make it smaller. however considering the frequency it takes place and meddling with driver configuration (applies globally) that i have no idea about, I’ll pass on this. great work finding this BTW
Please let me kindly ask you for your assistance. Where was “sd_mod? sr_mod” omitted in the SCSI-less config?
At least, all I wanted to do is remove
'scsi/.*ata'
entirely, as well as
scsi
from the second filter in that line, like below:
for filter in ‘scsi/.*ata’ ‘/(block|scsi|fusion|nvme)/’ ‘ata/[ps]ata_’ \
The line above that saying
map add_module sd_mod? sr_mod? usb_storage? mmc_block? firewire-sbp2? virtio_blk?
will be left unchanged; it is only there for patch to identify its entry point in the block file.
The kernel runs well here - only drawback is that the Nvidia driver 495 is not compatible with it:

Looks like in this driver, some #includes are missing or set incorrectly.
The Nvidia beta driver 510.39.01 runs with kernel 5.17-rc1, without visible problems so far.
For driver 495.46, I have prepared a tentative patch and uploaded it here: Patch for compiling driver 495.46 for kernel... - 40848cd3
Feel free to test it and kindly provide feedback.
Fix my post. Just wanting to know if any of that affects the 1660 series?
But affected by what? You went digging for old issues and solution, for a problem that is explained, so what? Is your card in the list? Do you have an issue?
I kept seeing the error, “removing jack2 breaks dependency ‘jack2=1.9.20’ required by lib32-jack2” which would result in failure, came here, noticed and followed this subtle hint of a post and all’s well. 
Only this warning appear on my System:
If you don’t have a hardware component that requires this firmware, it can be ignored.
==> WARNING: Possibly missing firmware for module: qla4xxx
And it depends which filesystem you use, on encrypted ones I see this warn.
Your question was already answered earlier in the thread.

Hi, everyone,
it seems like nextcloud-client broke with this update:
