Bug Description
SRU Justification
Impact: New and updated firmware is needed to support the move to a 4.13 based hwe-edge kernel in xenial.
Fix: Cherry pick and backport relevant upstream commits, based primarily on the fwinfo files from the artful kernel abi.
Regression Potential: In most cases these add completely new firmware files which will not be used by older kernels in xenial. In a few cases bug fix updates for existing firmware were also included, but these are not expected to introduce regressions. In all cases the firmware files have been in use in artful for well over a month.
---
Add and update firmware files as necessary to support a 4.12 based kernel in the xenial linux-hwe-edge package.
