** Description changed: [Impact] The Noble point release 24.04.3 comes with kernel 6.14 which needs additional firmware, otherwise HW components might not work properly. [Fix] Add missing firmware blobs. [Test Plan] Not functionally testable due to lack of HW. A minimal test is to verify that the added firmware files are identical to what's provided by linux- firmware in Plucky. [Where Problems Could Occur] - The usual proprietary and opaque firmware issues might occur at kernel - boot or firmware load time: Crashes, hangs, stack traces, display - problems and other non-functional HW components that depend on this - firmware, ... + This mostly adds new firmware files that are currently not present in + linux-firmware Noble and not used by the 6.8 GA kernel. These new + firmwares should not cause any issues. However the commit set that is + cherry-picked from upstream does not only add new files but also updates + a few existing firmwares [1] which could be problematic for the 6.8 GA + kernel. This could cause the usual proprietary and opaque firmware + issues at kernel boot or firmware load time: Crashes, hangs, stack + traces, display problems and other non-functional HW components, ... + + [1] Existing firmware files that are updated by this bug fix: + + amdgpu/gc_9_4_3_mec.bin + amdgpu/gc_9_4_3_rlc.bin + iwlwifi-bz-b0-fm-c0.pnvm + iwlwifi-bz-b0-gf-a0.pnvm + iwlwifi-gl-c0-fm-c0.pnvm + mediatek/mt7996/mt7996_dsp.bin + mediatek/mt7996/mt7996_rom_patch.bin + mediatek/mt7996/mt7996_wa.bin + mediatek/mt7996/mt7996_wm.bin
