Applied to linux-firmware focal branch.

> [Impact]
> 
> Intel IPU6 MIPI camera on Alder Lake platform takes a different fw blob.
> 
> [Fix]
> 
> While Intel has no intention to upstream IPU6 driver before kernel
> camera is out, it's available in
> https://github.com/intel/ipu6-camera-bins commit e60fae2b5128 from its
> main branch.
> 
> [Test Case]
> 
> This would take both kernel and firmware fixes, as well as updates for
> the userspace middleware, gstreamer element plugin, to enable the device.
> With all of them in position, one should be able to browse camera with
> legacy camera apps like cheese.
> 
> [Where problems could occur]
> 
> It's confirmed Intel IPU6 MIPI camera doesn't support suspend at
> streaming.
