Public bug reported:

== SRU Justification ==

Impact: Prior to Linux 4.14 a number of firmware files were being
shipped with the kernel source. The duplicate files in linux-firmware
had been removed, but now they need to be restored for the 4.15 hwe
kernel.

Fix: Restore the missing firmware files.

Test Case: Install the updated linux-firmware package and confirm the
presence of the restored files.

Regression Potential: This only adds new firmware files and thus is not
likely to cause regressions with already working hardware.

** Affects: linux-firmware (Ubuntu)
     Importance: High
