v6.6-rc1 commit 9ab43e95f922e ("accel/ivpu: Switch to generation based FW names") obsoleted firmware path `intel/vpu/mtl_vpu_v0.0.bin` in favor of either `mtl_vpu.bin` or `intel/vpu/vpu_37xx_v0.0.bin`. The former is then again obsoleted by v6.9-rc1 commit 575fcdd3cfd43 ("accel/ivpu: Remove legacy firmware name").
