** 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 and links. [Test Case] - 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. + Ideally: Verify that the 6.8 kernel loads the new firmware blobs and the affected HW components function as expected. + Realistically: Mostly untestable due to lack of availability of relevant HW. [Where Problems Could Occur] 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.
