Please keep us posted for the upstream commits we should confirm we are carrying for the 17.10 release. Thanks.

Is there any information here that we can crosscheck so we can confirm this can be closed.

[quanxian (quanxian-wang)]

33.ucode has been supported in 4.13.

There are many commit for this which has been in 4.13.

I think we can mark it as fix-released.

[quanxian (quanxian-wang)]

firmware is not ready, kernel code is ready in 4.13. Don't mark it fix-released until firmware is ready.

[Alice Liu (dxliu)]

Move it to Ubuntu 18.04.
