The current logic for firmware selection is reminiscent from i915 where there are 2 backends and several platforms support only 1: execlist or GuC. The xe driver has only the GuC backend and it simply doesn't work without it. Allow developers to override the firmware path even if there isn't a firmware entry in the table yet: this allows developers to more easily test the very first firmware before adding it there. The justification above is only true for GuC, however those override paths should really be viewed as developer aid param. Simply make the same logic for all firmwares and allow the override path to be used for all of them.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
