Bug Description
SRU Justification
Impact: amdgpu references firmware files in modinfo which have not been supplied to linux-firmware. This causes update-initramfs to generate "Possible missing firmware" warnings.
Fix: Since the firmware is not available, all we can do is remove the files from modinfo.
Test Case: Confirm that update-initramfs no longer produces the warnings.
Regression Potential: Low. If someone had managed to obtain these files they will no longer be added to the initramfs, potentially causing regressions for these users. This would be an atypical situation.
