Possibly.  Your log shows that the amdgpu module is loaded very early,
this must be done by the initramfs.  By default graphics drivers are not
included in the initramfs, so maybe amdgpu is listed in
/etc/initramfs-tools/modules ?

That's the one you need.  If the amdgpu module complains that it's
missing, maybe the firmware is not included in the initramfs.  I don't
know how that could happen, though.

Cheers,
       Sven
