focal linux-firmware package omits amdgpu/navi12 firmware

Asked by Henry Goffin

The 20.04 LTS linux-firmware package list was cut before the amdgpu/navi12* firmware files were upstreamed to the Linux kernel repository, which is unfortunate because this hardware is older than some other included firmware (navi14*), and the firmware is required for using the AMDGPU kernel module on AWS EC2 cloud instances with AMD GPUs.

The files are included in 21.04 and 21.10, but they have not been included in the LTS hardware-enablement releases for 20.04.
Is there any process for nominating firmware blobs for inclusion in a LTS package?
