Ah.  OK.  The driver tries to load the firmware before / is mounted, then?

As I do not use initrd there the answer seems to be:

-CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE=""
+CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE="radeon/R600_rlc.bin"
+CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE_DIR="/lib/firmware"

to the .config.

Closing as invalid.  Will reopen if the above .config change doesn’t fix it.

(Last time I must have manually done what EXTRA_FIRMWARE does.  I lost that
clone in the meantime, though, so that is only a guess.  (It was a clone of
my local, pristine clone.  And the .configs were backed up in their own git
repo.  So that loss didn’t seem like much of a nuisance.  But I obviously
forgot about this issue in the meantime. ☹)
