Drive-by comment: I'd call out more explicitly that with this patch as 
long as both GuC and HuC FW are on the machine they will always be 
loaded, which is a change to the current behavior. I'm not implying that 
the change is bad, but it alters timing in some scenarios (e.g. resume) 
and interested parties might miss it if we aren't explicit about it.

Thanks,
Daniele
