Can't use apt upgrade anymore due dpkg: error processing package linux-image-6.1.0-10-amd64 (--configure)

I encounter an issue with Debian 12 and my PC. CPU info: AMD Ryzen 5 5600G with Radeon Graphics.
I cannot do apt upgrade, it fails due to - see log below.
I assume that the lines starting with W: Possible missing firmware I can ignore, these are just warnings.
I found some solutions online. I tried to do autoremove or purge and it failed with the same errors. These solutions don't look like correct.
Currently I can't install or update anything.
Could anyone give me a hint or help me?

I have the exact same error(s) with a Ryzen 5 5600, Radeon RX 6600. Could not tell you how to fix it. I can't even figure out what "dependency problems" it has.

Links to links to more links to descriptions of removing some random thing and when I do that errors out too. No thanks! I'll just move along elsewhere. I installed Debian 12 three days ago and all I have done since then is try to fix one thing after another...starting on step one
with the friggin' installer!

The problem is not with Debian 12 itself but was caused because the QC people allowed the kernel to be upgraded to 6.1.0-10, which caused a raspi-firmware-related "malware" (can't think of a better term) to be re-introduced into the system. So much for the "stable" designation.
This bug has been reported during the "bkworm stage of unstable" (whatever that means). Very annoying but has been dragging on for quite some time. There is no excuse for this bug to continue and be re-introduced during a Debian "Stable" upgrade. Conspiracists may suggest that there is a mole in the debian development team, but I don't think so.
As per @Random_Troll and others, we need to remove three files:
1. /etc/kernel/postinst.d/z50-raspi-firmware
2. /etc/kernel/postrm.d/z50-raspi-firmware
3. /etc/initramfs/post-update.d/z50-raspi-firmware
Then do a sudo apt purge raspi-firmware

"malware"
The word is "bug".

"malware"
The word is "bug".
The word "bug" implies this is "
unintentional". For something so prevalent--and which has been reported so long ago and for so many times--to be "penetrated" into the "Stable" distro --the "trademark" of Debian--, I can't but think otherwise.

Absolute life saver; I was starting to get mad especially when I saw raspi-firmware. Kind of started using language.
Anyway, all is good now.

Thanks! The above steps worked after a failed NVIDIA driver installation too (which invokes update-initramfs at the end). Once the above steps were done and rebooted, NVIDIA driver which was otherwise installed correctly worked fine.
Lest anybody relates it to AMD, my system is Intel Alder Lake 12700KF and a RTX 3070. So it is independent of any specific hardware.
I would request Debian admins involved in approving these type of changes to be more vigilant on matters that affect stability. We can always have an unstable version for experiments, but OS installed from official ISO should not end up having these basic issues.
