we don't want to risk sending a pull request to drm if the firmware is
not in linux-firmware repo yet though, so we need to be careful with
this workflow.

We still have some weeks, which should be sufficient time if it's sent
to linux-firmware asap.

2nd patch pushed to drm-intel-gt-next.
1st patch I removed from topic/core-for-CI.
