As you may have noticed in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette , one would not want to presume what a BIOS update will or won't change, as they are a black box generally not tested to linux, and specifically Ubuntu. As well, hardware maintainers have already made clear bugs reported with outdated and/or buggy BIOS would need to be updated first before considered valid.
