Bug Description

[SRU Justification]

[Impact]

In upstream commit 5370a431 ("mei: vsc: Rework firmware image names") for
char-misc-next targeting v6.8, the VSC firmware paths have been changed to
intel/vsc instead of the original vsc/soc_a1_prod that has been used for all
existing Intel IPU6 camera platforms.

[Fix]

Upstream linux-firmware commit cfc997c6 ("intel: vsc: Add firmware for Visual
Sensing Controller").

In order to keep backward compatibility for Jammy oem/hwe kernels, an additional
patch adds symlinks for each moved binary.

[Test Case]

The binaries are bit-to-bit identical, except for the destination path
installed. With extra symlinks created, all the IPU6 platforms should keep
working as usual.

[Where problems could occur]

No problem is expected.

[Other Info]

We're switching to upstreamed binaries in Jammy and Noble, because they're
likely to receive furhter updates for both linux-firmware and vsc drivers.

========== original bug report ==========

In upstream commit https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/char-misc.git/commit/?h=char-misc-next&id=5370a431ef915b52697d25a5a32cbaf9a4cbef95 for char-misc-next targeting v6.8, the VSC firmware paths have been changed to intel/vsc instead of the original vsc/soc_a1_prod that has been used for all existing Intel IPU6 camera platforms.

The corresponding linux-firmware commit is in https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/commit/?id=cfc997c664f076c6800b749ed7ef315b1e8e76fd.

Per discussion in https://github.com/intel/ivsc-driver/issues/42, upstreamed ivsc drivers are recommended since kernel v6.8, and it takes additional fixes to be landed in ipu6-drivers dkms (filed as upstream issue https://github.com/intel/ipu6-drivers/issues/210).

Mark as INCOMPLETE because we need more inputs.
