Just what I mentioned on IRC, I think it is best if this is presented to
the user as a single info block *, and perhaps
https://01.org/linuxgraphics/intel-linux-graphics-firmwares
is a slightly more useful link?

* "Refusing to load old Skylake DMC firmware v%u.%u,"
" please upgrade to %u.%u or later"
" [https://01.org/linuxgraphics/intel-linux-graphics-firmwares].";
