When updating the kernel today to 3.11.0-4-generic I saw the same warning messages I saw when I upgraded to 3.11.0-3-generic
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-3.11.0-4-generic
W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/radeon/KAVERI_sdma.bin for module radeon
W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/radeon/KAVERI_rlc.bin for module radeon

W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/radeon/KAVERI_me.bin for module radeon
W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/radeon/KAVERI_pfp.bin for module radeon
Further digging found bug 1183777
As mentioned in that bug, I did contact the named person:
"Hi,
I'm still seeing the errors for
KAVERI firmwares
being missing in the latest kernel :
phillw@piglet:~$ uname -a
Linux piglet 3.11.0-3-generic #8-Ubuntu SMP Fri Aug 23 16:49:15 UTC 2013
x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
As the 1st Beta is creeping up fast, do you need this raising as a new
bug?
Regards,
Phill."
The reply is:
"As far as I can tell, the KAVERI firmware (and hardware) is not publicly available yet, so that's not a bug with the linux-firmware package. If you want to file a new bug about the warning messages, please file it against the linux (kernel) package. Until the firmware is available, I'm not really sure what the fix for that would be, other than removing/commenting out the relevant Kaveri lines in the radeon kernel code."
Please find attached bug report as requested.
