part of journal log

OS is openSUSE tumbleweed with radeon 4350.
After Installation of kernel 4.13.rc6-2.1.g43edc52
(obs://build.opensuse.org/Kernel) booting problem with radeon 4350. Graphic
Card could not be installed, booting only with default(?) graphic mode.
See attachment.
Building my own kernel from 
mainline: 4.13-rc7      2017-08-28      [tarball]       
has the same error.
RV710_pfp.bin was always present in: /lib/firmware/4.13.0-rc7..../radeon/ and
/lib/firmware/radeon/
Why kernel fails to load it?
kernel 4.13.0-rc2-1.gb545b87 (obs://build.opensuse.org/Kernel) was booting (Jul
30.) without this error.
Actual kernel 4.12.8-1.2 is running without problems.

Did you rebuild initrd after updating kernel-firmware containing
/lib/firmware/radeon/RV710_pfb.bin?

kernel-firmware was installed at Di 15 Aug 2017 16:16:40 CEST. In the meantime
there were a lot of updates of dracut, udev etc.
Today, installed 4.13.rc6-2.1.g43edc52-vanilla in order to get a new entry of
dracut in zypper/log
I will add a new attachment taken var/log/zypper/log with 3 entries of dracut
in var/log/zypper/log.
Maybe this could answer your question properly.

It doesn't matter what zypper says.  Simply check initrd content via lsinitrd.
If the target firmware file is found there, it's OK.  If not, that's the
problem.

As I said in my description kernel 4.13.0-rc2-1.gb545b87 was booting with out
any problems.
So my conclusion is, that radeon.ko has become broken in the meantime, and that
is. what dracut printed out for me.

The only reason the firmware would fail to load is if it's not available.  From
the log, it shows direct fw loading failed.  Did you build radeon into your
kernel rather than as a module?  If so, you need to build the firmware into
your kernel as well.

I guess it's module since Walther is using SUSE kernels.

Could you give the full dmesg output from 4.13.0-rc6-vanilla you've installed
recently?  That has the firmware file in initrd as in comment 6, we can
double-check it.

This is an argument, which belongs to my own kernel. I learned from
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Radeon that these 3 firmware files are needed to
be build-in in my own localyesconfig kernel. So far, I did not do so.
But i filed this bug, because I found an openSUSE kernel with the described
problems.

There were a lot of updates the last few days for tumblewwed, the latest came
from http://download.opensuse.org/update/tumbleweed/  with a updates for Mesa
and libvdpau. Maybe this is the reason why:
I have to write, that this bug will be closed as fixed. Today kernel
4.13.0-rc6-vanilla boots without problems for the first time! 

Thank you for your time, but I could not know this development before.

P.S. "full dmesg output" seems to be obsolete now.
