Add Intel QAT Gen4 firmware

[Keng-Yu Lin]

[Impact]

The two Intel QAT Gen4 firmware files are already upstreamed:

  https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/tree/qat_4xxx.bin
  https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/tree/qat_4xxx_mmp.bin

Please consider to include them.

Please also nominate to Focal and Jammy since they are LTS.

[Fix]

Cherry pick commit 24c9df9b942518717dd53966712df69ac35c8b90.

[Where Problems Could Occur]

This is new firmware which will get loaded if the relevant HW is present so could result in all sorts of (kernel) problems.

[Juerg Haefliger (juergh)]

The driver that wants this firmware was added in 5.10 so it's potentially needed all the way back in Focal.
