[Impact]

Missing firmware for Intel CNVi AX211/AX201 on Intel MTL/RPL platforms. For
example:

  iwlwifi 0000:00:14.3: PCI dev 7e40/4090, rev=0x441, rfid=0x2010d000
  iwlwifi 0000:00:14.3: no suitable firmware found!
  iwlwifi 0000:00:14.3: minimum version required: iwlwifi-ma-b0-gf-a0-59
  iwlwifi 0000:00:14.3: maximum version supported: iwlwifi-ma-b0-gf-a0-83
  iwlwifi 0000:00:14.3: check git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git

And Bluetooth:

  Bluetooth: hci0: Failed to load Intel firmware file intel/ibt-0180-0041.sfi (-2)

[Fix]

There are plenty of commits to be SRUed in the WiFi part due to modifications to
pnvm files. Intel may and may not update their unversioned pnvm file upon new
releases, therefore on pulling any ucode version of iwlwifi firmware, the full
history of an unversioned pnvm file has to be pulled as well, and each may or
may not pull an older ucode version of that firmware.

Most of the commits have been included in Mantic and newer. For Noble, it
depends on an additional commit 92e24e048136 ("iwlwifi: add a missing FW from
core80-39 release") that has been backported to Jammy and Mantic in bug 2042716.

Also note that commit a6744df81a30 ("iwlwifi: add FWs for new GL and MA device
types with multiple RF modules") is also being backported in bug 2028065.

[Test Case]

Boot with firmware blobs installed, and iwlwifi and btintel should probe
successfully without error.

[Where problems could occur]

While this introduces support for new hardware on new platforms, expect every
possible problem.

[Other Info]

We're to support oem-6.5/jammy, and mantic for best effort.

V2: pull also core80 firmware blobs for AX211 on RPL and AX201.
