Bug Description
[SRU Justification]
[Impact]
When using a bluetooth headset the ad2p profile is supported but the
hsp/hfp profile doesn't work.
[Fix]
Using the latest firmware with patch version 42 solves from commit
629a5e089e30 ("linux-firmware: Update firmware patch for Intel
Bluetooth 7260 (B5/B6)").
[Test Case]
Pair with headset/mobile phone with HSP/HFP support and try A/V
control.
[Regression Potential]
Low. This upgrades only the firmware blob used by affected hardware,
and the proposed blob is also used by later releases.

--problem :
The bluetooth part of the intel 7260 wifi/bluetooth card needs a firmware file to operate.
The version of my card is reported in dmesg as :
Bluetooth: hci0: read Intel version: 3707100180012d0d00
this will load firmware file
Bluetooth: hci0: Intel Bluetooth firmware file: intel/ibt-
When using a bluetooth headset the ad2p profile is supported but the hsp/hfp profile doesn't work, I believe the version in the current linux-firmawre package is patch version 39.
--solution :
Using the latest firmware with patch version 42 solves the problem :
With this firmware the hsp/hfp profile is working, this means the microphone and the sound of the bluetooth headset are working correctly.

Yes, the latest revision of that blob in bionic branch has patch version 39: https:/ /git.launchpad. net/~ubuntu- kernel/ ubuntu/ +source/ linux-firmware/ commit/ intel/ibt- hw-37.7. 10-fw-1. 80.1.2d. d.bseq? h=bionic& id=fb328183532f fc7a1a54e84fb53 467e275a95b79 . This should only affect Bionic because Cosmic and later releases have already patch version 42.
