Bug Description

Dear all,

Module i915.ko is asking for the firmware file:
i915/tgl_huc_7.5.0.bin
Date: 2020-08-13
Description: i915: Add HuC firwmare v7.5.0 for TGL

But the module i915 should also ask for :
i915/tgl_huc_7.9.3.bin
Date: 2021-06-29
Description: firmware/i915/guc: Add HuC v7.9.3 for TGL & DG1

i915/tgl_dmc_ver2_12.bin
Date: 2021-07-28
Description: i915: Add v2.12 DMC for TGL

i915/tgl_guc_62.0.0.bin
Date: 2021-06-29
Description: firmware/i915/guc: Add GuC v62.0.0 for all platforms

or at least (this 8 month old firmware):
i915/tgl_guc_49.0.1.bin
Date: 2020-11-24
Description: i915: Add GuC firmware v49.0.1 for all platforms

This requirement will fix some bugs and improve stability on our hardware using Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS.
FYI: I cannot appreciate myself, if this is a security vulnerability or not.

Cheers
