etc.

These files are not in the firmware-amd-graphics package, not even
in backports.  I looked on packages.debian.org.

According to a few web search results, such as
<https://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?t=159637> and
<https://www.reddit.com/r/debian/comments/vh1ni5/possible_missing_firmware_amdgpu/>,
these files are "looked for but not needed", and the warnings can be
ignored.
