Just read on DPreview that there is what appears to be a minor firmware update. Apparently its on the Australia, Netherlands and US canon sites so far.
Firmwarw is 1.5.2

EOS R5 Firmware Update Version 1.5.2​


17th March 2022

Firmware Version 1.5.2 incorporates the following enhancements:
1. Optimizes AutoFocus accuracy when Extender RF1.4x or Extender RF2x is attached to the RF800mm F5.6 L IS USM and RF1200mm F8 L IS USM lenses.
2. Enhances the stability of Eye Detection.
3. Enhances AutoFocus tracking when shooting moving subjects.
Firmware Version 1.5.2 is for cameras with firmware up to Version 1.5.1. If the camera's firmware is already Version 1.5.2, it is not necessary to update the firmware.
 
My R5 has seized up a few times on the 1.5.1 , not sure whether to download the next firmware or not !
Not had that happen to me yet. Will probably update to 1.5.2 as there seems to be further focus improvements.

    Fast, sharp, and lightweight! A great lens
    This is my main workhorse of a lens and I love it. It's very light weight (only around 2.3 lbs) lens. I've been able to hand-hold it for an event...
