Bug description:
  [ Impact ]

  AMD GPU not functional on Focal with HWE kernel.

  [ Test Case ]

  See original description below.

  [ Fix ]

  Cherry-pick relevant commit from upstream linux-firmware.

  [ Where Problems Could Occur ]

  Broken graphics with AMD GPUs.

  [ Original Description ]

  Release: up-to-date Focal LTS (20.04.3)
  Package-version: linux-firmware 1.187.20
  Hardware model: [AMD/ATI] Chelsea LP [Radeon HD 7730M]

  With the latest kernel upgrade (5.4 --> 5.11, if I recall correctly),
  my laptop's discrete graphics stopped working. Looking at the logs, I
  found these messages:

  -- snippet --

  In fact, file '/lib/firmware/amdgpu/verde_uvd.bin' was missing.
  Running '$ dpkg -L linux-firmware | sort' gives this:

  /lib/firmware/amdgpu/vegam_uvd.bin
  /lib/firmware/amdgpu/vegam_vce.bin
  /lib/firmware/amdgpu/verde_ce.bin

  /lib/firmware/amdgpu/verde_smc.bin
  /lib/firmware/amdgpu/yellow_carp_asd.bin
  /lib/firmware/amdgpu/yellow_carp_ce.bin

  Copying the file from upstream
  (https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-
  firmware.git/tree/amdgpu/verde_uvd.bin) didn't work on my system,
  probably because I use UEFI and the module wasn't signed (error
  below):

  I can confirm that reverting kernel driver to 'radeonsi' makes the
  device usable again, but at the expense of Vulkan APIs (not supported
  by this driver).

  Could you, please, fix this?
