Public bug reported:

[ Summary ]

A recent change in qcom-firmware-extract changed the path firmware is
extracted to from /lib/firmware to /lib/firmware/updates.

This was necessary because some of the device firmware files were
upstreamed into linux-firmware, so extracting to /lib/firmware would
cause conflicts.

The ubuntu-x1e-settings hook was not updated to also include firmware
from the new path in the initrd which breaks some functionality.
