Alexandre Oliva has recently removed these files from Linux Libre
with concerns that the sources weren't available.
The sources are available on IGT repository, and only open source
tools are used to generate the {ivb,hsw}_clear_kernel.c files.
However, the remaining concern from Alexandre Oliva was around
GPL license and the source not been present when distributing
the code.
So, it looks like 2 alternatives are possible, the use of
linux-firmware.git repository to store the blob or making sure
that the source is also present in our tree. Since the goal
is to limit the i915 firmware to only the micro-controller blobs
let's make sure that we do include the asm sources here in our tree.
Btw, I tried to have some diligence here and make sure that the
asms that these commits are adding are truly the source for
the mentioned files:
igt$ ./scripts/generate_clear_kernel.sh -g ivb \
-m ~/mesa/build/src/intel/tools/i965_asm
Output file not specified - using default file "ivb-cb_assembled"
Generating gen7 CB Kernel assembled file "ivb_clear_kernel.c"
for i915 driver...
igt$ diff ~/i915/drm-tip/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/gt/ivb_clear_kernel.c \
ivb_clear_kernel.c
