As I mentioned in the other thread, the earlier binary I posted was
incorrect. It contained an MBN v7 header, which is not compatible with the
SC7280. The correct binary should use an MBN v6 header.

This one uses the MBN v6 header, which is why it is named
vpu20_p1_s6_gen2.mbn following the same naming convention as other video
firmwares.

I was initially planning to drop the non‑working firmware vpu20_p1_gen2.mbn
in this PR, but since you already raised a PR for it, I didn’t make any
changes regarding that file.

Yes, it is tested.
