Hmm .. perhaps I've been doing this wrong?  Should I fill in:

(amdgpu/kaveri.bin radeon/kaveri.bin)

instead of:

(radeon/kaveri_ce.bin radeon/kaveri_me.bin radeon/kaveri_mec2.bin 
radeon/kaveri_mec.bin radeon/kaveri_pfp.bin radeon/kaveri_rlc.bin 
radeon/kaveri_sdma1.bin radeon/kaveri_sdma.bin radeon/kaveri_uvd.bin 
radeon/kaveri_vce.bin)

I've been doing the latter for as long as I can remember.
