Hi Christian,

this commit is causing a boot regression with v4.2-rcX on my Richland APU (CHIP_ARUBA) based laptop. I didn't have time yet to track down where exactly it is going wrong, but I bisected it down to this single commit.

I don't have the VCE firmware installed on this system, so from a quick look at the code I would expect it to drop out pretty early and just leave the VCE unconfigured, but otherwise keep things working as before. This is unfortunately not the case.

If the radeon driver is built into the kernel (or loaded from the initrd?), the attempt to load the firmware might take a long time to time out.

Please provide more information about the symptoms, e.g. any dmesg output etc.
