Because you empty out the amdgpu files, and unpacking the radeongpu firmware tarball won't replace it. So the /etc/firmware/amdgpu folder remains empty. This will break modesetting and xenocara (at least for me). Reverting to readondrm firmware isn't an option for me, since I own navi hardware, which isn't supported by radeondrm. It stands to reason that the readondrm drivers are more mature and stable, they've been around a lot longer than the amdgpu ones. I hope this reply is more helpful. Regards, Emiel
