Bug Description

[ Impact ]

The patchset "drm/amdgpu: Enable MES lr_compute_wa by default"[1] enables a MES workaround to prevent MES queue from hanging on Strix Halo platforms. The patch is includes in the oem-6.14-1014, however it requires newer MES firmware to work. Otherwise the kernel would gate this workaround, showing the following message:

amdgpu 0000:c3:00.0: amdgpu: MES FW version must be >= 0x7f to enable LR compute workaround.

This has been found on platforms of some community users[2].

[ Fix ]

Update the GC firmware files to the latest ones[3].

[ Test ]

1. On a Strix Halo platform, install the firmware and boot the 6.14 oem kernel.
2. In the dmesg, the above message should not appear.

[ Where the problems could occur]

If there are problems in the new firmware, they will affect Strix Halo platforms[4].

Confirmed that with 6.14.0-1015-oem and 6.14.0-1016-oem kernel, with the -proposed linux-firmware in Noble (-0ubuntu2.20) the said message doesn’t appear in dmesg.
