Sorry, I have the signed files ready now, there was a little delay
getting the CI infrastructure ready for signing so I will post on the
GH release page later tomorrow.

Please note, there is no signed KBL release yet as the firmware and
driver still need some work to cater for the different FW boot flow on
KBL. I'm also not sure when/if KBL will be done since it's an older
platform and currently supported upstream using the closed FW.

I will also be upstreaming the FW binaries to the linux FW repository
so they will be available by default on the next distro release cycle.

Thanks
