Yes, the patch was never meant to be used as-is, instead it must be
reworked to do it correctly, and probably for all radeon GPUs.
The patch was just to test if it could work without the firmware. I
posted it as-is just to document what I did and to have a basis for
discussion.
Now I'll try to find the time to:
-> Work on a clean patch for linux-libre.
-> Make the deblob script do the same modification than the clean patch.
