The latest version on the FW download page is skl_dmc_ver4.bin as Damien
pointed out and skl_dmc_ver1.bin is not available there. So why did you
choose ver1? If ver4 is not compatible with the current driver code,
then ver1 must be made available too on the download page, otherwise we
should use here ver4.
The patch otherwise looks ok to me.

Yes, 01.org will be updated with skl_dmc_ver1.bin. Thinking of future
scaling it is decided that we will follow the naming convention
<platform>_dmc_<api-version>.bin and this will be a symbolic link of
the actual firmware.
Will be requesting firmware team to release firmware in
<platform>_dmc_<api-version>_<minor-version>.bin Here in
skl_dmc_ver4.bin api version is 1.0 and minor version is 4, so changed
the file name to skl_dmc_ver1.bin.
I just repeat here Damien, but I don't think there is a need to
complicate things with symlinks. IMO I915_CSR_SKL should point to the
exact version of the firmware, not just to a symlink with the API
version. The driver will be tested with that particular firmware version
and so the driver writers should be in full control of what version will
be loaded with a given driver version.

Hi Imre,
Agree, if we want to support only latest firmware for a particular platform we do not need symlink
but during discussion found that if user want to rollback the newest firmware for same API version
which can be achievable by using symlink and introducing api-version and minor-version. Anyways I am
ok with both the approaches.
Adding Jessi also,
Please suggest to proceed further.
Regards,
Animesh
