Direct firmware load for i915/kbl_dmc_ver1_01.bin failed with error -2

I saw an error on booting my new Debian 9.1 Stretch desktop and searching for the error message didn't pull anything useful at first. Here's the error message:

aclark@discus 0 ~ $ sudo dmesg | grep i915
[    2.705848] i915 0000:00:02.0: firmware: failed to load i915/kbl_dmc_ver1_01.bin (-2)

Then found this Debian package which looked useful: https://packages.debian.org/sid/firmware-misc-nonfree

Installed that and the machine boots without errors.
