Package: firmware-misc-nonfree
Version: 20170823-1

The binary firmware skl_dmc_ver1_27.bin for Intel "Skylake" DMC firmware,
version 1.27, is missing.
The kernels 4.16.0.1 and 4.16.0.2 require them. I get a sort of failed
loading error when booting like :
*"*ERROR* failed to load firmware skl_dmlc_ver1_27.bin"*

I have tried to fix the issue by download from
:
https://github.com/wkennington/linux-firmware/tree/master/i915

Then I drop the file in /lib/firmware/i915 and reboot.

The previous error message has vanished but a newer is appeared like :
*"[drm:csr_load_work_fn] *ERROR* Firmware has wrong CSS header length"*

Could you update the package ? Or what should I do about this binary
firmware ?


Best regards,
Etienne MAHE
