*ERROR* radeon kernel modesetting for R600 or later requires firmware-amd-graphics.

I have just finished a fresh install of Debian 9 (Stretch) on my HP Pavilion dm3-1130us and I noticed an error message during boot up. ... [ 18.670958] [drm:radeon_pci_probe [radeon]] *ERROR* radeon kernel modesetting for R600 or later requires firmware-amd-graphics. ...

Ok, that's no problem. All I need to do seems to install firmware-amd-graphics package. Let's see if that package exists: # apt-cache search firmware-amd-graphics firmware-amd-graphics - Binary firmware for AMD/ATI graphics chips

The package exists. Now time to install it:# apt-get install firmware-amd-graphics ... Setting up firmware-amd-graphics (20161130-3) ...

After rebooting, no more ERROR message shows up.
