TAHITI firmware files needed for other So.I. chipsets?
The lists of firmware files needed for the Southern Islands chipsets (Cape Verde, Pitcairn, etc.) all include, but I've booted a kernel without including those firmware files and it works fine, with no messages in dmesg or syslog about missing firmware. This could be specific to my hardware; I use a Radeon HD 7850 card. But could it be that the TAHITI files are not needed? The firmware file lists were copied from the radeon article, but I'm not sure if anyone has actually checked whether AMDGPU has the same firmware requirements.

Here are the revisions where the TAHITI files were introduced in the radeon article:

 * https://wiki.gentoo.org/index.php?title=Radeon&diff=prev&oldid=494628 (VCE)

There are also discussions about this on the talk page for radeon:

Where is the Enable AMD powerplay component Option
I filed a bug on bugs.gentoo asking what this option is called. I was referred here. I did try the kernel's search feature. I tried it with the gentoo-sources-4.9.x series which is what the user is using in this article. Thanks
