> 
> [ Impact ]
> 
> The i915 driver in Focal HWE kernels (currently 5.11 and 5.13) needs new firmware blobs. Without them, some users reported display/audio issues when installing said kernel.
> 
> 
> [ Test Case ]
> 
> 1) Install linux-generic-hwe-20.04
> 2) echo 'i915' >> /etc/initramfs-tools/modules
> 3) update-initramfs -u
> 
> Which leads to multiple warnings:
> W: Possible missing firmware <foo> for module i915
> 
> 
> [Fix ] 
> 
> Add missing firmware blobs from upstream linux-firmware.
> 
> 
> [ Where Problems Could Occur ]
> 
> New closed-source firmware binaries, would could possibly go wrong? No display with i915, kernel crashes.
