MIssing firmware for Intel Visual Sensing Controller

[You-Sheng Yang]

[SRU Justification]

[Impact]

Need firmware blob for Intel Visual Sensing Controller for IPU6 cameras on
Intel Alder Lake platforms.

[Fix]

Two commits from upstream repo https://github.com/intel/ivsc-firmware main
branch. While Intel has no plan to upstream their IPU6 driver before
kernel camera API is out, the firmware blobs will probably stay where they
are until the plan changed.

[Test Case]

This would take both kernel and firmware fixes, as well as updates for
the userspace middleware, gstreamer element plugin, to enable the device.
With all of them in position, one should be able to browse camera with
legacy camera apps like cheese.

[Where problems could occur]

It's confirmed Intel IPU6 MIPI camera doesn't support suspend at
streaming.

[Other Info]

This is a follow-up for bug 1955383, which at the time being SRU-ed, Intel
has not yet published these ivsc fw for redistribution.

Focal is nomiated to support oem-5.14 kernel.

========== original bug report ==========

This is a followup for bug 1955383 that ivsc firmware was not publicly released at the time submitting other Intel IPU6 works for Alder Lake platform. They're now available in https://github.com/intel/ivsc-firmware

Hello You-Sheng, or anyone else affected,

Accepted linux-firmware into focal-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-firmware/1.187.25 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 on 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, what testing has been performed on the package and change the tag from verification-needed-focal to verification-done-focal. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed-focal. In either case, without details of your testing we will not be able to proceed.

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

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s) fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in -proposed for a minimum of 7 days.
