Hmm, I'm not sure that removal of HuC firmware file is the best
way for the user to stop undesired GuC loading.

I know that we want to minimize number of modparams, but maybe
new i915.enable_huc=auto(-1)|never(0)|if available(1)|required(2)
will solve here ...

Alternatively we can replace both existing modparams with single:

i915.enable_guc = off(0) | auto(1) | submission(2) | huc(4)

then we could cover almost all cases:

0 = GuC loading disabled (no GuC submission, no HuC)
1 = GuC loading auto
2 = GuC loading enabled, GuC submission required, HuC disabled
3 = GuC loading enabled, GuC submission enabled,  HuC disabled
4 = GuC loading enabled, GuC submission disabled, HuC required
5 = GuC loading enabled, GuC submission disabled, HuC enabled
6 = GuC loading enabled, GuC submission required, HuC required
7 = GuC loading enabled, GuC submission enabled,  HuC enabled

As I already said before, there is also 3rd possible status "failed"

	!HAS_GUC(dev_priv) ? "not supported" :
		!HAS_GUC_SCHED(dev_priv) ? "disabled" :
			"failed"

where HAS_GUC_SCHED is

#define HAS_GUC_SCHED(dev_priv) \
		(HAS_GUC(dev_priv) && i915_modparams.enable_guc_submission)

or something similar

Hmm, based on its usage, this name is now little confusing.
Maybe USES_GUC ? See USES_PPGTT|USES_FULL_PPGTT|USES_FULL_48BIT_PPGTT

> +		(HAS_GUC(dev_priv) && \

While unlikely, above will be true even with guc.fw.path == NULL

Also, based on your statement "all platforms with HuC have a GuC
and viceversa" I would assume that corresponding firmwares will
be delivered also in pairs (except short enabling periods).

Thus on every platform with has_guc=1 there will be guc.fw.path != NULL
and huc.fw.path != NULL, effectively making this macro almost the
same as HAS_GUC (as other cases are just error cases).

If we want to make GuC loading conditional, we should use better
condition ;)

Hmm, if !HAS_UCODE ?

Hmm, I can't see now when fw will be selected...
Note that you are using here HAS_GUC_UCODE that depends on fw path

At this point we are sure that we have GuC (with fw) so we can use

i915_modparams.enable_guc_submission = 1;
