Greetings Alex,

I've double checked both my kernel config and dmesg but haven't found any issue, I might be missing it thought.
my fw files are built into the kernel,

here are some outputs:
dmesg: http://bpaste.net/show/186582/
kernel config: http://bpaste.net/show/186583/
lspci: http://bpaste.net/show/186584/

note that my setup is a multiseat setup and both of my radeon cards are showing the same symptoms.
