Add firmware for Redpine 9113 chipset

[Amitkumar Karwar]

SRU Justification

Impact: The redpine driver in xenial has been updated, and a corresponding firmware update is also required.

Fix: Add new firmware files.

Test case: Test with affected hw and with a kernel which has the driver update.

Regression potential: These are new files used by a single driver, so no regressions are possible outside of that driver.

@Seth,

When will the Redpine RS9113 firmware available in linux-firmware for Xenial? Is anything blocking the release?

[Seth Forshee (sforshee)]

It's included in 1.157.12, which was uploaded last week but is currently sitting in the unapproved queue.

Can you please describe what sort of testing has been done? Just a bare ‘verification-done-xenial’ is not very helpful.

@Chris,

The linux-firmware package was upgraded to version 1.157.12 by following instructions in comment #3 on HW platform which requires the latest RS9113 firmware.
