For hardware dependencies you have to look at the 'supplements' (rpm -q
--supplements), in particular at the modaliases:
modalias(kernel-desktop:pci:v000010DEd00000635sv*sd*bc03sc0[02]i00*)
The 'PACKAGE:' prefix (kernel-desktop:) is optional and will simply require
hardware being present _and_ PACKAGE being installed.
Question would be if, in absence off the kernel-firmware package, 'zypper
install-new-recommends' would have selected it. If not, it might be some
hardwaredep missing.
In doubt it might be helpful so send the list of modaliases found on the system
to check whether kernel-firmware should have been matching. A command to get
them would be:
find /sys -name modalias | xargs grep . >/tmp/modaliases
(The file will contain '/sys/PATH/modalias:MODALIAS' lines. kernel-firmware
should have been selected, if a modalias template supplemented by kernel-
firmware matches (shell glob) a MODALIAS in the above list. And of course
kernel-firmware must not be involved in some dependency conflict)

BUT be sure it is not related to bug #721810 - "Ignore recommended packages
for already installed packages".
In the log I see some 'ignorealreadyrecommended=1' during installation. This
disables hardware dependencies, as it's an
always-installed-system-peudo-package which would recommend the supplementing
kernel-firmware package.
