This is the commit that is responsible for the Kabylake GuC firmware file not being registered in the i915 module on Ubuntu kernels: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git/ubuntu/ubuntu-bionic.git/commit/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_guc_fw.c?id=dc0f16f9b5084e6be2b8c79f8c6cd499a3451791

This is the accompanying bug report: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1626740

I've also commented there to bring the issue to their attention. The change should be reverted now that the formerly missing firmware files are present in linux-firmware.
