[SRU Justification]
[Impact]
iwlwifi takes firmware updates to support WiFi 6E in Malaysia and
Morocco. The models in concern are AX210 (iwlwifi-ty-a0-gf-a0-*),
AX211 (iwlwifi-so-a0-gf-a0-*) and AX411 (iwlwifi-so-a0-gf4-a0-*).
[Fix]
pnvm along with the ucode firmware from upstream commit 5bc279fb161d
("iwlwifi: update core69 and core72 firmwares for So device") are
required. While the pnvm and ucode blobs may not be upgraded
simultaneously in one single commit, those involved in the upgrade
path are also pulled.
[Test Case]
Use `iw` to enumerate supported WiFi 6E band:
$ iw reg get
global
country <country>: DFS-FCC
...
(5925 - 7125 @ 320), (N/A, 12), (N/A), NO-OUTDOOR, PASSIVE-SCAN
[Where problems could occur]
Currently linux-5.15 has FW API 66, linux-hwe-5.19 or above has 72,
linux-6.3 has 74, and linux-unstable (v6.4) or above has 78, so this
will update iwlwifi firmware usage for kernels <= 6.2 in Jammy, e.g.
linux-oem-6.1, linux-5.15.
[Other Info]
Blobs with FW APIs >= 72 do no harm to jammy kernels, but will be
referenced in oem-6.5 if planned.
These commits have been included in linux-firmware/lunar, so only
Jammy is nominated for fix.
