kernel log with panic

`modprobe radeon modeset=1` spontaneously not loading firmware (firmware loading works ok. because sometimes it loads just fine and KMS is working).
Sometimes module loading leads to kernel oops, simple test `while true; do modprobe radeon modeset=1; rmmod radeon; done` leads to kernel panic/oops.
kernel from airlied git, drm-next branch 8dfaa8a7779ad2667d539aca6ae11cd87f562db6

Sounds like an issue with the firmware loading code then, not with the DRM.

Cannot reproduce with linux-2.6 master after drm-next merge.
