** Description changed:

  [Impact]
  New Intel CyclonePeak Wifi cards require new firmware to enable.
  
  [Fix]
- To avoid conflicts, also update 9000 series firmware to ABI 46 which has been 
added since v5.1-rc1 from iwlwifi tree[1] for-upstream branch
-    95a93535 iwlwifi: update -46 firmwares for 22260 and 9000 series
-    68040ceb iwlwifi: add firmware for 22260 and update 9000 series -46 
firmwares
-    fdfb1531 iwlwifi: add -46.ucode firmwares for 9000 series
+ To update the firmware we want only, so backport the following 2 commits, and 
remove all 9000 series related firmwares from iwlwifi tree[1] for-upstream 
branch

+    68040ceb iwlwifi: add firmware for 22260 and update 9000 series -46 
firmwares
  
  1. git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/iwlwifi/linux-
  firmware.git
  
  [Test Case]
  Verified on AX200NGW & 22560NGW chips & Killer 1653 card, wifi works well.
  
  [Regression Risk]
  Low. Those firmware are for new cards and new ABI, it won't affect current 
Intel wifi cards, and won't take effect on Bionic(4.15) kernel. Only iwlwifi 
DKMS driver or oem-osp1 kernel loads those firmware.
  
  [Misc]
  Can't apply the same patchset on Cosmic, and taking into account that Cosmic 
is going to EoL on July, so skip Cosmic.

** No longer affects: linux-firmware (Ubuntu Disco)
