Marking as a duplicate of bug #1510405. The tl;dr is that an option for some experimental hardware support in amdgpu got turned on by mistake and will be turned off, causing this hardware to be supported by radeon insead of amdgpu and making the firmware files unnecessary. I think this should eliminate all of these warnings.
