** Description changed:

+ [SRU Justification]
+ 
+ [ Impact ]
+ 
+ New and last upstream firmware release for Ubuntu 22.04 Jammy.
+ 
+ [ Test Plan ]
+ 
+ 1. Install linux-firmware from -proposed pocket. Reboot.
+ 
+ 2. Wither kernel lower than , it gives no much information on a successful fw 
load:
+ ```
+ intel_vpu 0000:00:0b.0: enabling device (0000 -> 0002)
+ [drm] Initialized intel_vpu 1.0.0 20230117 for 0000:00:0b.0 on minor 0
+ ```
+ With kernels >= v6.6, it prints also firmware version info by default:
+ ```
+ intel_vpu 0000:00:0b.0: enabling device (0000 -> 0002)
+ intel_vpu 0000:00:0b.0: [drm] Firmware: intel/vpu/vpu_37xx_v0.0.bin, version: 
20251016*MTL_CLIENT_SILICON-release*1600*ci_tag_ud202544_vpu_rc_20251016_1600*74b0ef77ba8
+ [drm] Initialized intel_vpu 1.0.0 20230117 for 0000:00:0b.0 on minor 0
+ ```
+ 
+ [ Where problems could occur ]
+ 
+ Opaque firmware. The previous SAUCE firmware blob was retrieved from
+ Intel's NPU driver github, which is also the source of those been
+ upstreamed to kernel org linux-firmware repo.
+ 
+ [ Other Info ]
+ 
+ The firmware paths changed a few times:
+ 
+ 1. kernels < v6.6:
+    - mtl_vpu.bin
+    - intel/vpu/mtl_vpu_v0.0.bin
+ 
+ 2. kernels < v6.9:
+    - vpu_37xx.bin
+    - mtl_vpu.bin
+    - intel/vpu/vpu_37xx_v0.0.bin
+ 
+ 3. otherwise:
+    - vpu_37xx.bin
+    - intel/vpu/vpu_37xx_v0.0.bin
+    - intel/vpu/vpu_37xx_v1.bin
+ 
+ In order to keep all Jammy kernels (ivpu supported since kernel v6.3)
+ working, an additional symlink "intel/vpu/mtl_vpu_v0.0.bin" was added to
+ Jammy backport.
+ 
+ Nominate for J, N, Q, R as Intel MTL platforms (which has vpu 37xx) was
+ supported in these series.
+
