Sinan, I guess Christian's suggestion is to add amdgpu_device_init function
like here:

8<-------
diff --git a/drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/amdgpu_device.c b/drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/amdgpu_device.c

        r = amdgpu_device_ip_init(adev);
        if (r) {

After that, we don't do it in each generation.

Thanks,
