Although Intel does not give clear instructions, it seems that i915.enable_guc can automatically load the appropriate firmware based on the GPU information. So it may be possible to provide multiple GuC/HuC firmware at the same time.

Are you sure about this? I think the dg2_huc firmware file, which was missing in 24.04.0 altogether, is the main HuC file that is supposed to be loaded for DG2 devices.

I noticed a similar problem. GPUs supported by Intel's old i915 drivers often require GuC and HuC firmware drivers, such as the integrated GPU that comes with my N6000 processor must rely on GuC and HuC drivers to be recognized by Jellyfin and perform hardware decoding.
24.04.0 actually has complete GuC (ehl_guc_xx.0.0.bin) and HuC (ehl_huc_x.0.0.bin) drivers pre-installed, but they are not actually loaded. Using sudo midclt call system.advanced.update '{"kernel_extra_options": "i915.enable_guc=3"}' command can load the firmware and make the GPU work normally, and no other side effects have been found so far. Perhaps a switch can be added to the WebUI to facilitate users to enable and test loading GuC and HuC drivers that are not enabled by default. Furthermore, the firmware switches of the conventional i915 GuC and HuC can be provided together with the firmware switches of the ARC.

TrueNAS-SCALE-24.04.0-MASTER-20240209-013912:
I have been testing out Dragonfish in hopes of using my Intel ARC A380 with the newer Linux Kernel and have ran into some issues when trying to use this card.
When trying to use my Intel Arc 380 card in Jellyfin for transcoding I am able to pass all the setup tests found in Jellyfin's documentation: most importantly the openCL verification found on step 8 where openCL mapping functions and the card is found. However, when trying to use ffmpeg to encode files within the jellyfin container I get the error:
After extensively researching this error it seems that most people get the error by not having the intel graphics drivers package properly installed. Some issues were solved by adding the dg2_huc_gsc.bin file in the firmware folder (/usr/lib/firmware/i915), I see that TrueNas scale 24.04 does not have that file.
A good test might be installing the
intel-opencl-icdpackage found here to see if that allows compute. I would be happy to test any solution, it seems I have run out of options with being able to modify much of TrueNas.There is a similar error when trying to use this graphics card on the Handbrake application which also uses ffmpeg.
