Bug 98798

This is a message from the pci subsystem, not the driver and it's harmless.  The driver is able to access the rom and load successfully.

If it is the pci subsystem where should I report the issue instead?

the same problem or message from the pci subsystem.

The error message comes from the drivers/pci/rom.c file. A solution is to change dev_err to dev_info in the pci_get_rom_size function. Amd should manage to make this happen.

I also have this issue with Debian Stretch 
linux kernel 4.13.0-0.bpo.1-amd64

I upgraded to this kernel because the default kernel wouldn't give me dual screen mode , probably same issue.

my graphics card is a Radeon RX550 brand new just openned the box.
My previous R200 series works flawlessly, but the new one isn't.

Wish AMD would treat Linux first class like Intel does with their graphics drivers.


So if the answer is: "drivers/pci/rom.c file. A solution is to change dev_err to dev_info in the pci_get_rom_size function."

sounds like a recompile required.  C'mon, that's not resolved for me, it's resolved when the testing is done successfully, the code gets committed to source repo and the builds get it.

Originally trying to get dual screen to work on Debian Stretch kernel 4.9.x

Led me to kernel update , Debian Stretch with latest 4.13.x kernel
I didn't log the issue that 4.9.x had but maybe similar to 4.13.x
:see following:
dmesg | grep amdgpu

It looks like the firmware is not available at driver load time.  If you are using an initrd, make sure the firmware is in the initrd.  If you have the driver compiled into the kernel, you need to build the firmware into the kernel as well.

Joseph, before the steps outlined by Alex, make sure the firmware-amd-graphics package from stretch-backports is installed.

possible fix

The attached patch makes the change.  Whether the pci maintainers will accept it or not remains to be seen.
