Bug Description

A recent update (I'm not sure which, sorry) has resulted in systems with the i915 module loaded outputting errors when updating initramfs.

I reproduced this on a clean Ubuntu 18.04 VM with HWE kernel and all updates applied by:
1. sudo modprobe i915
2. sudo apt-get install linux-firmware --reinstall

This resulted in the following errors:
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-5.4.0-42-generic
W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/i915/tgl_dmc_ver2_04.bin for module i915
W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/i915/skl_guc_33.0.0.bin for module i915
W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/i915/bxt_guc_33.0.0.bin for module i915
W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/i915/kbl_guc_33.0.0.bin for module i915
W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/i915/glk_guc_33.0.0.bin for module i915
W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/i915/kbl_guc_33.0.0.bin for module i915
W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/i915/icl_guc_33.0.0.bin for module i915

It appears that /lib/firmware/i915 contains 32.0.3 versions of those components, rather than 33.0.0
