Bug Description
SRU Justification
Impact: A 4.15-based hwe-edge kernel has been introduced into xenial. However some of the firmware files it requires are missing from xenial's linux-firmware, rendering the relevant hardware inoperable.
Fix: Add the missing firmware files.
Regression Potential: Most of these files will not be used by the existing kernels in xenial. A few may be, and while regressions are not expected it's possible that new firmware versions might introduce regressions.
