Source: firmware-nonfree
Severity: important

Dear maintainer,

first of all thanks for maintaining and packaging the linux-firmware files 
repository as debian packages.

We currently need to manually obtain the 
linux-firmware.git:amd/amd_sev_fam17h_model3xh.sbin [1] file on
our AMD EPYC servers. The firmware files containing the AMD SEV firmware 
closing security vulnerabilities [2]
and fixes bugs and adds improvements to the AMD SEV implementation.

I'm most likely unqualified for legal questions but the LICENSE.amd-sev [3] 
reads quite similar to the already
added amdgpu license [4]. So I hope this is not the reason, why those files 
were not added in the past.

The severity was choosen because it fixes a security vulnerability, please 
change accordingly if you think
it is wrong.

Thanks in advance. Best regards,
michael
