Rodrigo Vivi 19b71af532 linux-firmware/i915: Step away from symbolic links and clean up repo.
i915 now loads the specific major/minor version of the firmware
instead of loading the symbolic links.

So this patch also removes symbolic links from the firmware
components that never had the firmware loaded directly and
let the symbolic links only for the cases where some versions
of i915 might load the symbolic link while new versions loads
the file directly.

I considered making copies but this would
increase this repository size in ~ 25%.

The symbolic links now on shall never be updated.

Rodrigo Vivi 4e27950458 linux-firmware: Add i915 GuC firmware
GuC is designed to perform graphics workload scheduling on the various
graphics parallel engines. In this scheduling model, host software
submits work through one of the 256 graphics doorbells and this invokes
the scheduling operation on the appropriate graphics engine. Scheduling
operations include determining which workload to run next, submitting a
workload to a command streamer, pre-empting existing workloads running
on an engine, monitoring progress and notifying host SW when work is
done.

This is the first release of GuC firmware for Skylake platforms.

skl_guc_ver1.bin is a symbolik link to latest recommended minor release.
This major version will be just upgraded on code when it is required
software changes for API/ABI compatibility.
