My question would be: Why isn't the _k patch already in linux-git?

I tested the patch on my R9 390, so the Hawaii-specific part of the patch works
on at least one machine in the world outside of freedesktop.org.

Or is there a reason to delay patch submission to linux-git?

_k firmware files are already available in Gentoo Linux for example.
