I believe so, and yes it makes total sense that you need the correct firmware
for a piece of hardware to work properly. 
I will open bugs for openSUSE and ubuntu, and ask the questions, point to this
bug tracker. Let's see what comes out. I will report back as I hear from
distribution maintainers. 

I am using a RadeonVII at the moment. Is there anyone with a Vega64 or Vega56
that can do the same tests and let me know if they see same issue? I am happy
to include those cards in my same bug reports if someone can confirm.
