Our kernel driver supports loading UCODE API versions 39 to 66 inclusive.

Our linux-firmware package, for this SKU variant ships:

./lib/firmware/iwlwifi-so-a0-gf-a0-64.ucode
./lib/firmware/iwlwifi-so-a0-gf-a0-67.ucode
./lib/firmware/iwlwifi-so-a0-gf-a0-68.ucode

I don't quite know why 65 & 66 are missing, lets assume they have been discovered to be buggy.

The module declares to only support 66.ucode, when actually that's the max version
$ modinfo iwlwifi | grep so-a0-gf-a0
firmware: iwlwifi-so-a0-gf-a0-66.ucode

And our trim-firmware scripts do not realise that we should include v64 of the ucode, if desired v66 & v65 are missing.
