I tried that with no success: Selecting RADEON_DRM=y sets
Selects: FB_CFB_FILLRECT [=m] && FB_CFB_COPYAREA [=m] &&
FB_CFB_IMAGEBLIT [=m] && FW_LOADER [=y] && DRM_KMS_HELPER [=y] &&
DRM_TTM [=m] automagic and I dont know how to configure the modules
as compiled in?

I've put R300_cp.bin in EXTRA_FIRMWARE and
EXTRA_FIRMWARE_DIR=firmware/radeon but there are modules flying
around (FB_CFB_*) which have to be build in the kernel, though.
