Applied to topic/core-for-CI with acks by Rodrigo and Tvrtko.
Reference issue: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/intel/-/issues/8343

Going forward we should plan to have these kind of patches in
drm-intel-gt-next itself rather than using the CI branch. The CI branch
is not the proper place.

To be clear, since MTL is under force probe and not normally enabled,
it's ok to bump the major version without retaining compabibility with
the previous version, as per
https://docs.kernel.org/driver-api/firmware/firmware-usage-guidelines.html


I think the main blocker right now to use drm-intel-gt-next would be
because MODULE_FIRMWARE() is unaware of force_probe. Then distros
would start getting a warning when creating their initrd that they may
have missed a firmware. But that firmware itself is not present in the
upstream linux-firmware repo.  We can think about a way to hide the fw
def for *new* firmware (not the legacy ones) that are using the mmp
version.

For now, let's keep this as is and use the CI branch to assess the
driver health with GuC.
