Bug Description

This firmware is already in the linux-firmware of upstream and jammy

[Impact]
We have a UC20 project to enable the qca9377 sdio wifi on a imx6ull
board, without this firmware the ath10k-sdio wifi driver will fail to
initialize and the wifi can't work.

[Fix]
Backport 1 patch from upstream linux-firmware.

[Test]
Install the patched linux-firmware and boot the kernel on that board,
the ath10k-sdio.ko could find and load the firmware successfully and
the wifi function worked well.

[Where problems could occur]
The patch is from upstream and Jammy already has this patch, this patch
just adds new files to existing firmware, the regression possibility is
very low

Hello Hui, or anyone else affected,

Accepted linux-firmware into focal-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-firmware/1.187.35 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed-focal. In either case, without details of your testing we will not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance for helping!

Enabled the focal-proposed repo in the setting, ran apt-get update, and ran apt install linux-firmware, the linux-firmware is updated to 187.35, check the folder /lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA9377/hw1.0/, the firmware-sdio-5.bin is in that folder. And the wifi could work with this firmware on the imx6ull board.

Verification done.
