I have here:
|processor       : 3
|vendor_id       : AuthenticAMD
|cpu family      : 21
|model           : 48
|model name      : AMD A10-7800 Radeon R7, 12 Compute Cores 4C+8G 

|00:01.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. 
[AMD/ATI] Kaveri [Radeon R7 Graphics] [1002:130f]

and that one ask for the "lower case" firmware:
|[drm] Loading kaveri Microcode
|radeon 0000:00:01.0: Direct firmware load for radeon/kaveri_pfp.bin failed 
with error -2
|radeon 0000:00:01.0: Direct firmware load for radeon/kaveri_me.bin failed with

and without it X won't come up. The console remains working. The lower
case firmware is used in kernel since v3.17-rc1 and provided by the
firmware git tree as of

|    radeon: add updated firmware for kaveri (radeon GPU)

I just installed the firmware from git repo and X comes up.

There is fallback support for some chips but not for Kaveri.
