Missing amdgpu firmware files

[Christian König]

Well that's strange. Essentially those are just duplicates to the 
existing files and the driver should fallback to them.

IIRC the radeon/*_sdma1.bin files are only requested when you try to use 
CIK support with amdgpu which isn't a good idea in a production environment.

What's the link for the bug reports? It's most likely just people trying 
to use the driver with hardware which it isn't supposed to be used with.

We probably should either remove CIK support totally from the amdgpu or 
add all the files to the firmware repository.

Regards,
Christian.
