Is this frequent and required scenario ? or just for debug/development ?

You are also assuming that on reload exactly the same GuC/HuC firmwares
will bee used as in initial run. This will make this useless for debug/
development scenarios, where custom fw are likely to be specified.

If we want to support enable_guc=1->3->1 scenarios for debug/dev then
maybe more flexible will be other approach that makes allocations from
the other end as proposed in [1]

Hmm, side effect of those unconditional fetches might be unwanted warnings
about missing firmwares (on configs with disabled guc) as well as extended
driver load time.

Do we really need to support this corner case enable_guc=1->3 at all costs?
