[ubuntu-mythtv] linux-firmware-nonfree fixes

[Mario Limonciello]

Hi Chase:

Thanks for bringing this to our attention.  I'll add the mythbuntu bug team
to a subscription for the bugs.  Keep in mind we are still rather short
handed though, and rely on core-devs and MOTU's to help sponsor bug fixes.

Since you have taken an interest in MythTV and helping with this package in
the first place would you mind continuing to help watchdog the package
though in your non Canonical time perhaps too?  It looks like once these
last few items are sorted out, the bug rate should hopefully be pretty low
for the package.

It's certainly one of those things that can help add another notch for when
you request MOTU or core-dev yourself.
