What release are you using? The only place where 4.12 is currently
relevant is artful 17.10, and that is more or less up to date. If you
are using a 4.12 kernel on other releases, that's not supported
currently (the hwe-edge kernel in xenial will move to 4.12 and beyond
later, but that hasn't happened yet). However if there are firmware
updates relevant to a supported kernel for any release you can file a
bug against linux-firmware, and we will consider pulling in the
upedates.

Regarding the -22 firmware specifically, we had to remove that from all
releases because it wasn't working at all for some hardware
configurations. Unless those issues have been fixed we won't be able to
pull in that firmware version.

Thanks,
Seth
