** Description changed:

+ SRU Justification
+ 
+ Impact: i915_bpo requests some optional firmware which is not present in
+ xenial due to causing regressions on some hardware. This produces a
+ warning when generating the initrds.
+ 
+ Fix: Remove the MODULE_FIRMWARE statement for this driver, thus removing
+ it from the firmware's modinfo and eliminating the warning.
+ 
+ Regression Potential: Virtually no risk of regression since it only
+ affects the modinfo section of the kernel module and not the runtime
+ behavior.
