Maybe call this from inside xe_late_bind_init?

Are we expecting late binding firmwares for all possible cards to always 
be available? because if not (and therefore if this fetch can fail) we 
should change this to firmware_request_nowarn to avoid throwing errors

Same as above, if not finding the blob is a valid scenario then this 
should be a drm_dbg. Maybe even reword to make it clear it's not a 
failure but just the fact that there is no FW for the card.

Is this safe? It feels weird to send a truncated firmware for something 
like voltage regulators. IMO if the firmware is too big we should throw 
and error and bail out.
