Including the firmware in-kernel may cause suspend-to-ram to fail, if this is a concern don't include the blob built into the kernel, instead, add the firmware blob into the initramfs. Systems using Skylake, Broxton, or newer Intel graphics will need additional firmware from sys-kernel/linux-firmware package:

↑ 5.0 5.1 5.2 5.3 5.4 Supported by dev-libs/intel-compute-runtime.↑ Cherryview is the name of the graphics core associated with the Airmont microarchitecture (Braswell, Cherry Trail platforms, among others).dev-libs/intel-neo was superseded by dev-libs/intel-compute-runtime.

Both packages are no longer maintained, thus currently unavailable. ↑ 3.0 3.1 Used to be supported by dev-libs/intel-neo, which superseded dev-libs/beignet ( Upstream info) as of Q1/2020.
