As I known, AMDVLK is running on amdgpu driver, not support readon kernel driver.

David Zhou

The newer SI firmware only works with amdgpu right now.  At the moment
the upstream SI firmware is shared with radeon.  We'd need to use
separate firmwares for radeon and amdgpu for SI.  No one has gotten
around to switching it yet.

Thanks. I wasn't aware of that issue. The updated firmware seems to work
fine with Radeon drivers on my machine. (After updating the firmware, I
booted with Radeon.si_support=1 Radeon.cik_support=1 amdgpu.si_support=0
amdgpu.cik_support=0) though I've messed with my system a lot to get AMDVLK
working so I'm not sure it's really using radeon. It should be. And the GL
version is 1.4 now. I obviously can't speak for other cards and I haven't
done extensive testing by any means, but it seems to work.
