Public bug reported:
SRU Justification
Impact: Recent updates to linux-firmware means that there are new and
updated firmware files relevant to the 5.0 hwe kernel from disco. Adding
these files to give a better install experience for the 18.04.3 release.
Fix: Add the new firmware files to the nic-firmware udeb.
Test Case: Confirm that the new files are present in the nic-firmware
udeb.
Regression Potential: New firmware versions could contain regressions.
These versions have already been released into bionic with no reported
regressions though, and are known to fix actual problems, so the benefit
seems to outweigh the potential risk.
** Affects: linux-firmware (Ubuntu)
