[Impact]

Missing firmware blobs for Intel VPU support on Intel Meteor Lake platform.

  intel_vpu 0000:00:0b.0: enabling device (0000 -> 0002)
  intel_vpu 0000:00:0b.0: [drm] *ERROR* ivpu_fw_request(): Failed to request
  firmware: -2
  intel_vpu 0000:00:0b.0: [drm] *ERROR* ivpu_dev_init(): Failed to initialize
  firmware: -2
  intel_vpu 0000:00:0b.0: Failed to initialize VPU device: -2
  intel_vpu: probe of 0000:00:0b.0 failed with error -2

[Fix]

Upstream Intel VPU linux driver project
https://github.com/intel/linux-vpu-driver stores firmware blob in git-lfs.

[Test Case]

Intel VPU support on Intel Meteor Lake platform is part of the OpenVino
framework. It takes many more other components to be installed before VPU on MTL
may release its power. Here we simply test the firwmare can be found and loaded.

[Where problems could occur]

Intel VPU firmware is to be loaded by kernel but used by user land frameworks.
While OpenVino is not (yet?) supported natively, this firmware blob alone has no
observerible effect yet.

[Other Info]

While MTL is supported by v6.5 kernel or above, only oem-6.5 and Mantic are
nominated by default.
