I too have been unable to find documentation or repos with more
information about how this is supposed to work.

I think what we're running into here (in an FDE/TPM scenario with the
snap kernel) extends far beyond this particular firmware problem as
well, actually. For example:

1) Installing VirtualBox kernel modules isn't straight-forward either
due to the destination area being read-only.

2) Similar with fwupdmgr – even fwupd from snap can't install updates
due to the read-only restrictions. For example, trying to update my
laptop's EC results in fwupdmgr failing with "failed to write-firmware:
Failed to create '/run/mnt/ubuntu-seed/EFI/fwupd/fw': Permission denied"

What I _have_ found is that the firmware included in the pc-kernel snap
comes from the firmware-sof-signed package. The odd thing is the .deb
version of _the same_ package contains the files we need. But they're
not included in the pc-kernel snap, which I simply don't understand.
