[PATCH 2/2] drm/amdgpu: support polaris10/11/12 new cp firmwares

Hi Christian,

On the 1st run, it goes for amdgpu/%s_mec2_2.bin. Then it will goes for amdgpu/%s_mec2.bin if failed.
So, i did not see any problem with it.

Actually i talked with firmware guys. There is no change for the firmware loading way.
The new firmwares depends on a critical feature(unhalt MEC) which we lost before. We added that feature.
But considering the possible use case: old kernel + new firmwares, we decide to give the new firmwares other names.

Regards,
Evan
