** Description changed: [Impact] New Intel CyclonePeak Wifi cards require new firmware to enable. [Fix] - To avoid conflicts, also update 9000 series firmware to ABI 46 which has been added since v5.1-rc1 from iwlwifi tree[1] for-upstream branch - 95a93535 iwlwifi: update -46 firmwares for 22260 and 9000 series - 68040ceb iwlwifi: add firmware for 22260 and update 9000 series -46 firmwares - fdfb1531 iwlwifi: add -46.ucode firmwares for 9000 series + To update the firmware we want only, so backport the following 2 commits, and remove all 9000 series related firmwares from iwlwifi tree[1] for-upstream branch + 95a93535 iwlwifi: update -46 firmwares for 22260 and 9000 series + 68040ceb iwlwifi: add firmware for 22260 and update 9000 series -46 firmwares 1. git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/iwlwifi/linux- firmware.git [Test Case] Verified on AX200NGW & 22560NGW chips & Killer 1653 card, wifi works well. [Regression Risk] Low. Those firmware are for new cards and new ABI, it won't affect current Intel wifi cards, and won't take effect on Bionic(4.15) kernel. Only iwlwifi DKMS driver or oem-osp1 kernel loads those firmware. [Misc] Can't apply the same patchset on Cosmic, and taking into account that Cosmic is going to EoL on July, so skip Cosmic.
