[Intel-gfx] [PATCH 2/2] drm/i915/guc: Turn on GuC/HuC auto mode

[Joonas Lahtinen]

Better subject would be: "Enable HuC (through GuC) on supported platforms"

That's bit of a misleading statement (in more than one way).

"Enable loading HuC firmware (through GuC) to unlock
advanced video codecs on supported platforms.

GuC firmware is required to authenticate the HuC firmware,
which is a requirement for it to operate."

Has the most recent firmware been merged to linux-firmware and
is it present in our CI systems?

It would also be good to list what kind of tests have been run
to ensure that there are no regressions, and which platforms
this change affects.

Regards, Joonas
