Title:
  [SRU] Fix unnecessary error messages during optional AMDGPU firmware
  load

Bug description:
  [ Impact ]

  Currently, when the amdgpu driver tries to load firmware that is
  optional and fails, it emits error:

          Direct firmware load for amdgpu/%s.bin failed with error -2

  In the situations where the firmware is optional, this should be
  treated as false alarm. The driver should emit this message only when
  missing necessary firmware.

  
  [ Fix ]

  Backport the following patch and its dependent patches:

      ea5d49349894 drm/amd: Add the capability to mark certain firmware
  as "required"

  This patch makes it possible to specify if a firmware is necessary for
  amdgpu, and use the *_nowarn variant of firmware loading functions for
  optional firmware, so that the kernel doesn't emit error if the
  firmware is not found.

  
  [ Test ]

  0. Find a machine where the ISP firmware is optional
  1. Install and boot the kernel
  2. The graphic should work as expected
  3. The dmesg shouldn't show the "Direct firmware load for amdgpu/%s.bin 
failed with error -2" message

  [ Where the problem could occur]

  If some necessary firmware is marked as optional, and the firmware
  fails to load, it will fail silently.
