3.10 kernel: [drm:evergreen_startup] *ERROR* radeon: error initializing UVD (-1).

Hello,

I use an ATI graphics card (PCI-e x1) for a server:
Card: [AMD/ATI] Park [Mobility Radeon HD 5430]

I upgraded my kernel from 3.9.x to 3.10, after rebooting I found the driver
now wants a new firmware:
radeon 0000:05:00.0: radeon_uvd: Can't load firmware
"radeon/CYPRESS_uvd.bin"

I pulled the latest firmware down (and also updated the others) and
rebooted:
CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE="radeon/CEDAR_me.bin radeon/CEDAR_pfp.bin
radeon/CEDAR_rlc.bin radeon/CYPRESS_uvd.bin"

Then have this issue:
[drm] radeon: irq initialized.
[drm:evergreen_startup] *ERROR* radeon: error initializing UVD (-1).

The screen goes black for ~5 seconds and then come back on.
Not sure if this has been reported or not (w/CEDAR chipset) but FYI.
