This is very surprising: The patch just adds some debugging output, it's
not supposed to have any functional effect. Also, I don't see any of the
debugging output added by the patch in
dmesg-4.3.0-rc7-00003-g85051e2-dirty-2015-10-26-11-00-41-radeon-bl-debug.

Are you sure that my patch was actually applied to the radeon driver
when generating that file? Did you update the initrd with the patched
radeon.ko?
