[SRU][F][linux-firmware][PULL] focal linux-firmware package omits amdgpu/navi12 firmware (LP: #1958467)

[Juerg Haefliger]

BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1958467

[Impact]

The 20.04 LTS linux-firmware package list was cut before the amdgpu/navi12* firmware files were upstreamed to the Linux kernel repository, which is unfortunate because this hardware is older than some other included firmware (navi14*), and the firmware is required for using the AMDGPU kernel module on AWS EC2 cloud instances with AMD GPUs.

The files are included in 21.04 and 21.10, but to date they have not been included in the LTS hardware-enablement releases for 20.04. It would be helpful to include the navi12 firmware files for the next LTS+HWE release, since 22.04 isn't due out for a while.

Without this firmware it is difficult to get AWS EC2 G4ad instances working with Ubuntu, as customers need to manually download and install the firmware from a reputable source and put it into the appropriate directory, which is not the experience they expect on hardware that is over a year old with the most recent HWE release.

[Test Case]

See above.

[Fix]

Backport amdgpu/nav12* from linux-firmware Jammy.

[Where Problems Could Occur]

Graphics problems, kernel crashes on machines with AMD GPU.

[Notes]

This is required for the HWE kernel so not updating linux-firmware in Impish.
