I have been testing i.MX53 with the firmware generated from EfikaMX 
generated files 
(https://github.com/genesi/linux-legacy/tree/master/drivers/mxc/amd-gpu).

Not yet. As the firmware have clear attribution and clear licence 
(BSD-3) which allows redistribution, I'm going to send pull request to 
linux-firmware as soon as the approach, presented in this patch, is 
accepted by Rob.
