[SRU][F][linux-firmware][PULL] linux-firmware missing renoir_ta (LP: #1958283)

[Juerg Haefliger]

BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1958283

This updates amdgpu renoir firmware on focal to match impish.

[ Impact ]

After today's update to the 5.13 kernel, my laptop's screen stopped working, showing random patterns instead.  The laptop is ThinkPad X13 with an AMD GPU.

In dmesg there was a message about amdgpu/renoir_ta.bin missing.  Following some StackOverflow advice, I downloaded and installed linux-firmware_1.201_all.deb from the 21.10 repo, which has amdgpu/renoir_ta.bin and rebooted, which fixed my issue.

Proposed Solution

Add amdgpu/renoir_ta.bin to the current version of the linux-firmware package for 20.04 LTS.

Additional Data

  $ lsb_release -a
LSB Version:	core-11.1.0ubuntu2-noarch:printing-11.1.0ubuntu2-noarch:security-11.1.0ubuntu2-noarch
Distributor ID:	Ubuntu
Description:	Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS
Release:	20.04
Codename:	focal

  $ uname -a
Linux ainar-ThinkPad-X13-Gen-1 5.13.0-25-generic #26~20.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jan 7 16:27:40 UTC 2022 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

[ Test Case ]

See above. Kernel log shows firmware load failures for amdgpu firmware in combination with the OEM 5.13 kernel.

[ Fix ]

Kernel fixes for new amdgpu firmware have landed in linux-oem-5.13 so it's now safe to update amdgpu firmware on focal to match impish.

[ Where Problems Could Occur ]

Display issues with amdgpu.
