This seems interesting. As my machine is in the middle of rebuilding from
current head (I decided to start over, just to be sure), I took the time to
check the source. I discovered a lot of the struct radeon_asic members for my
chip (dev id 0x9802) actually point to routines in evergreen.c, while some
point to those in r600.c. Trying to compare to linux 3.17 code, I couldn't
identify any differences apart from features like UVD. If I interpreted the
code correctly, linux also attempts to load PALM firmware. So I guess that's
unfortunately not the issue, but I'll double-check as soon as my machine
finishes building.
Should I try comparing firmware blobs themselves? Maybe there were fixes since
linux 3.8?

Indeed, especially UVD would be very nice to have. But for now, I'd be happy
to get DRI working ;)
