** Description changed: [Impact] The 6.8 HWE kernel requires firmware that is not (yet) provided by linux-firmware in Jammy. This obviously results in non-functional HW components. [Fix] - Add missing firmware blobs. + Add missing firmware blobs and links. [Test Case] - Verify that the 6.8 kernel loads the new firmware blobs and the affected - HW components function as expected. + Ideally: Verify that the 6.8 kernel loads the new firmware blobs and the + affected HW components function as expected. + + Realistically: Can't test due to lack of relevant HW. [Where Problems Could Occur] - This adds only new firmware blobs that the 5.15 GA kernel doesn't care - about so should not introduce any issues. In case that's an incorrect - assumption, some HW components might not function properly if the new - blobs are incompatible with the 5.15 GA kernel. + This adds only new firmware blobs (and symbolic links) that the 5.15 GA + kernel doesn't care about so should not introduce any issues. In case + that's an incorrect assumption, some HW components might not function + properly if the new blobs are incompatible with the 5.15 GA kernel.
