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.

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