  SRU Justification
  
- Impact: i915 lacks information about the glk_dmc_ver1_04.bin firmware
- file in modinfo, so it is not included in the initrd along with the i915
- driver. Thus the firmware does not get loaded. Loading the firmware is
- said to prevent a hang.

- Fix: Add a MODULE_FIRMWARE statement for the firmware.
+ In addition to that, this also causes GLK's HDMI audio codec stops
+ working after S3.
+         
+ [Fix]
+ Add a MODULE_FIRMWARE statement for the firmware.
+     
+ This information is required to let initramfs-tools includes the
+ firmware.
  
- Test Case: Without the firmware there will be a "Direct firmware load
- for i915/glk_dmc_ver1_04.bin failed with error -2" line in dmesg. With
- the firmware there is no such message.

+ firmware there is no such message.
  
- Regression Potential: Minimal. Will only be loaded by i915 for specific
- hardware, and loading the firmware is known to fix a hang.
+ I can confirm the GLK HDMI audio issue is gone when firmware is loaded.
