Dear all,
I am on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS up to date, freshly re-installed.
I just updated my system and I saw the system complaining about a missing missing firmware (tgl_huc_7.5.0.bin).
/etc/kernel/postinst.d/initramfs-tools:
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-5.10.0-1038-oem
W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/i915/tgl_huc_7.5.0.bin for module i915
W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/i915/tgl_huc_7.5.0.bin for module i915
I am OK to update that firmware , with the command "update-initramfs".
But I checked the following link: INTEL Repository of firmware and I found newer INTEL firmwares to prevent bugs ! Such as:
- tgl_huc_7.5.0.bin - 2020-08-13
- tgl_huc_7.9.3.bin - 2021-06-29
So: How to tell our Ubuntu that all INTEL firmware files needs to be updated ?
- tgl_dmc_ver2_12.bin
- tgl_guc_62.0.0.bin
- tgl_huc_7.9.3.bin
Note: even the file "tgl_guc_49.0.1.bin" from 24-Nov-2020 (8 months ago) is missing and the system is NOT complaining about it. It would be good to be able to install them.
Cheers

Edit for partial answer provided :
The issue was broken down into 2 parts :
- Missing firmware files, in Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, for initramfs, when it loads i915
- Module i915 is not updated, in Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
The missing firmware is in the linux-firmware package here (from System76) https://launchpad.net/~system76-dev/.../ubuntu/stable
See monkeybrain20122 post here.
I still don't know how to tell the i915 nodule that new firmware files are available.
