I beg your pardon guys, the deprecated 'make firmware_install' through me off
the scent! It seems that the blobs for Radeon R730 have changed with kernel
4.14.7, from those the Gentoo Wiki shows. So I'm fishing for errors in dmesg
and adding one blob at a time to see what I get. The kernel compile builds
the blobs fine as I show below, even if the firmware_install is not used any
longer.
CHK include/generated/compile.h
MK_FW firmware/radeon/RV730_me.bin.gen.S
AS firmware/radeon/RV730_me.bin.gen.o
AR firmware/built-in.o
