The goal is to know what the driver/hw was doing at the time of the
capture (which we presume is still identical to the hang).

At this point, we are just asking ourselves what is the most unambiguous
way of printing valid data. We already show has_guc in the output, so it
boils down to what was the uc_fw state. It doesn't need to be
load_status == SUCCESS, as we should show a failed attempt to upload the
fw as well.

So intel_uc_fw.size?
