Bug description:
  [Impact]

  AMD TEE firmware is provided by both linux-firmware and
  amd64-microcode. We've been 'lucky' so far that there's no file
  collision because linux-firmware provides compressed blobs and
  amd64-microcode doesn't. But that also means that the compressed blobs
  (from the wrong package) are used.

  [Fix]

  Don't ship AMD TEE firmware with linux-firmware.

  [Test Case]

  Inspect package content and verify that it doesn't provide
  /usr/lib/amdtee firmware.

  [Where Problems Could Occur]

  initramfs could contain wrong amdtee firmware and kernel could load
  wrong firmware. This can result in the usual kernel firmware problems:
  Unpatched issues due to wrong firmware loaded, kernel crashes, oops,
  hangs, ...

  [Original Description]

  Hi,

  the amdtee firmwares are provided both by amd64-microcode:

  $ dpkg -L amd64-microcode | grep amdtee
  /usr/lib/firmware/amdtee
  /usr/lib/firmware/amdtee/773bd96f-b83f-4d52-b12dc529b13d8543.bin
  /usr/lib/firmware/amdtee/amd_pmf_v3.bin

  and by linux-firmware:

  $ dpkg -L linux-firmware | grep amdtee
  /lib/firmware/amdtee
  /lib/firmware/amdtee/773bd96f-b83f-4d52-b12dc529b13d8543.bin.zst
  /lib/firmware/amdtee/amd_pmf_v3.bin.zst

   - one compressed and the other uncompressed
   - one in /lib and the other in /usr/lib

  Would it be possible to better coordinate both packages?
