Reverting that commit will address the firmware loading issue for both kbl and bxt. Although as far as I understand, Intel had cancelled Broxton, and there are no chips based on it in the market, so it's basically Kaby Lake users that are affected.

The Kabylake HuC firmware succeeds. All files exist. I've also verified the Kabylake GuC firmware matches the correct file size and md5 listed on 01.org. I then ran update-initramfs verbosely, and see that only /lib/firmware/i915/skl_guc_ver6_1.bin is being added. /lib/firmware/i915/bxt_guc_ver8_7.bin and /lib/firmware/i915/kbl_guc_ver9_14.bin seem to be ignored. I'm running a Dell XPS 13 9360 w/ Kabylake on Ubuntu 17.10 and initramfs-tools 0.125ubuntu12. Perhaps Broxton systems might have the same issue?
