yes, this happens on SKL-S for some reason, probably should upstream a
bug about it

Title:
  Wily: firmware load for i915/skl_dmc_ver1.bin failed with error -2

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  On Skylake, the skl_dmc firmware is failing to load. From dmesg:

  [    0.728803] i915 0000:00:02.0: Direct firmware load for i915/skl_dmc_ver1.bin failed with error -2
  [    0.728817] [drm:i915_firmware_load_error_print [i915]] *ERROR* failed to load firmware i915/skl_dmc_ver1.bin (0)

  This means the GPU can't enter its lowest available power states, plus
  many display hotplugging scenarios (that only the skl_dmc firmware can
  handle) are broken.

  On a whim I tried some other firmware versions:

  1) pointed the skl_dmc_ver1.bin symlink to skl_dmc_ver1_18.bin
  (instead of skl_dmc_ver1_19.bin)

  2) downloaded the latest (skl_dmc_ver1_21.bin) and pointed the
  skl_dmc_ver1.bin symlink to it

  But neither corrected the situation.

  Thanks!
