Linux kernel source tree

Update the logic to autoselect GuC/HuC for the platforms with the following improvements: - Document what is the firmware file that is expected to be loaded and what is checked from blob headers - When the platform is under force-probe it's desired to enforce the full-version requirement so the correct firmware is used before widespread adoption and backward-compatibility commitments - Directory from which we expect firmware blobs to be available in upstream linux-firmware repository depends on the platform: for the ones supported by i915 it uses the i915/ directory, but the ones expected to be supported by xe, it's on the xe/ directory. This means that for platforms in the intersection, the firmware is loaded from a different directory, but that is not much important in the firmware repo and it avoids firmware duplication. - Make the table with the firmware definitions clearly state the versions being expected. Now with macros to select the version it's possible to choose between full-version/major-version for GuC and full-version/no-version for HuC. These are similar to the macros used in i915, but implemented in a slightly different way to avoid duplicating the macros for each firmware/type and functionality, besides adding the support for different directories. - There is no check added regarding force-probe since xe should reuse the same firmware files published for i915 for past platforms. This can be improved later with additional kunit checking against a hardcoded list of platforms that falls in this category. - As mentioned in the TODO, the major version fallback was not implemented before as currently each platform only supports one major. That can be easily added later. - GuC version for MTL and PVC were updated to 70.6.4, using the exact full version, while the After this the GuC firmware used by PVC changes to pvc_guc_70.5.2.bin since it's using a file not published yet.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
