> 
> [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.
