The Xorg Intel Driver-20180223 documentation states the following

Only one of the lines “Intel I810” or “Intel 8xx/9xx...” needs to

I see no "Intel i810" option with make menuconfig.
Also, "If you select the latter, “Enable modesetting...” is needed
too."
confuses me. I assume that refers to "Intel 8xx/9xx..." However, I
don't
see that specific option, does it refer to 'Kernel modesetting driver
for
MGA G200 server engines?' I don't see another KMS option.
I'm not sure what happened to the I810, and not really interested -
it predated modern intel CPUs.
Modesetting is probably now activated by DRM_KMS_HELPER, and that is
now selected by at least the main in-kernel DRM drivers. Kernel
options change, the book does not always keep up.
While I was checking on this I noticed that Skylake and later
apparently need firmware to get the graphics working. I either
didn't know, or had forgotten, that.
Are you sure you're not thinking Kaby? My Skylake doesn't have an ounce
of firmware installed and performs excellent
