In this revision - yes, but unlikely.

HAS_GUC() is true but firmware for the device is not known (see
init_fw()). I think that the initial flow was designed in this case in
mind.

The status FIRMWARE_FAIL is not used at all in the GuC path (HuC) uses
it. Noted down to give it a closer look.

The check is gone, as it does not make sense, thanks.

Yeah. I've streamlined the whole thing to be:

----------------------------------------------------------
int attempts;
const int guc_wa_hash_check_not_set_attempts = 3;

<SNIP>

/* WaEnableuKernelHeaderValidFix:skl */
/* WaEnableGuCBootHashCheckNotSet:skl,bxt,kbl */
if (IS_GEN9(dev_priv))
        attempts = guc_wa_hash_check_not_set_attempts;
else
        attempts = 1;

while (attempts--) ...
----------------------------------------------------------


and dropped the WA comments in the guc_init_hw()

That's why this not a check for "non-zeroness".

It's cheeking for "greater than one", adhering to existing behavior:
 0   = disabled
 1   = enabled with possible fallback (i.e. ignore the error and use execlists)

Changed to const, but i915 seems to be generally define-biased for
similar things.
