linux-firmware: need to look at what if any updates needed for lts-xenial in trusty

[Andy Whitcroft]

We are now publishing a beta version of lts-xenial in trusty. This normally means we need to think about linux-firmware updates to support this. Track that activity here.

Hello Andy, or anyone else affected,

Accepted linux-firmware into trusty-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-firmware/1.127.21 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed. In either case, details of your testing will help us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance!

I did some preliminary testing on a Skylake machine running Trusty with the lts-xenial kernel. With both the 1.127.20 and 1.127.21 versions of linux-firmware I was able to suspend/resume and there were no warnings or BUG() in dmesg.

This bug was fixed in the package linux-firmware - 1.127.22
