--- Please enter the report below this line. ---

The radeon driver seems to be loaded at initramfs stage for KMS reasons but
the firmware is not present in the initramfs resulting in missing
functionalities (HDMI audio).
Other people on #debian IRC with a similar setup seem to have these firmware in
the initramfs ...

From dmesg :
[ 5.218630] platform radeon_cp.0: firmware: requesting radeon/RV670_pfp.bin
[ 5.314896] platform radeon_cp.0: firmware: requesting radeon/RV670_me.bin
[ 5.385302] platform radeon_cp.0: firmware: requesting radeon/R600_rlc.bin

why?

there is no valid point to load it in initramfs, just don't do it.

check if the module provides proper modinfo:
modinfo -F firmware <kernelmodule>

I didn't change anything in that purpose.
It is seems that with Kernel Mode Settings, the radeon driver must be loaded
for the framebuffer console to be activated and that it has to be done before X
is started in order not to get a broken X.
I'm no expert in that regard, but it seems to be the default debian bahavior
anyway, so if you really think that's not a "initramfs-utils" bug maybe you
can reassign it to the radeon maintainer.
