No, we don't. We want to and will ship all the firmware files that are included in the current Linux release (make install_firmware). If the developers are not capable of ensuring that the driver and firmware versions in the Linux releases work together, that is a bug on their end. In this case, it seems they move code out of the radeon driver more quickly than into the firmware files - I am not willing to fix this screwup for them.
