Removes linux-oem-5.17 as linux-modules-iwlwifi is the suggested
solution considering driver readiness and schedule, and the fact that
backport-iwlwifi-dkms 9858 is sufficient for driving the hardware in the
initial verifications.
** Description changed:
- commit ac4790dcd0ff ("iwlwifi: pcie: add support for MS devices").
-
+ The Intel AX204 NGW wireless card was enabled by commit ac4790dcd0ff
("iwlwifi: pcie: add support for MS devices"):

The wifi/bluetooth firmware is not yet available.
However, while the prereleased firmware has FW API 73, and v5.17 has
FW API 69, v5.18/5.19 have 72, we'll have the same problem as bug
1969434 tried to solve, and linux-modules-iwlwifi shall be used if
back porting iwlwifi FW API continues to be unrealistic and/or
unstable.
We have verified current backport-iwlwifi-dkms based on upstream
revision 9858 has FW API 73 and is able to load prereleased
wifi/bluetooth firmware. So the pending work might fall on linux-
firmware only.
