Public bug reported:

SRU Justification

Impact: A 4.15-based hwe-edge kernel has been introduced into xenial.
However some of the firmware files it requires are missing from xenial's
linux-firmware, rendering the relevant hardware inoperable.

Fix: Add the missing firmware files.

Regression Potential: Most of these files will not be used by the
existing kernels in xenial. A few may be, and while regressions are not
expected it's possible that new firmware versions might introduce
regressions.
