Please update linux-firmware to add 1.7 broxton firmware

[Robert Hooker]

There was errata in the 1.6 Broxton DMC firmware currently in linux-firmware and it no longer loads on 4.7 and higher based systems, which includes i915_bpo now that it has been updated to a 4.7 based backport.

This is the error:
[ 2.470468] [drm] Refusing to load old DMC firmware v1.6, please upgrade to v1.7 or later [https://01.org/linuxgraphics/intel-linux-graphics-firmwares].
[ 2.470476] i915 0000:00:02.0: Failed to load DMC firmware [https://01.org/linuxgraphics/intel-linux-graphics-firmwares], disabling runtime power management.

Hello Robert, or anyone else affected,

Accepted linux-firmware into xenial-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-firmware/1.157.3 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!

The 1.157.3 version in xenial-proposed does contain the 1.7 firmware and it loads properly now on broxton, thanks!
