Asus U38N: Unable to get Video BIOS on Radeon HD 7600G

Dear Linux developers,


as reported in the channel #radeon on <irc.freenode.net>, I am not able
to dump the Video BIOS on my Asus U38N-C4010H with AMD Radeon HD 7600G
(Trinity A8-4555M).

I am using Debian Sid/unstable with Linux version 3.12-1-amd64
(3.12.6-2).

        $ cd /sys/devices/pci0000\:00/0000\:00\:01.0/
        $ echo 1 | sudo tee rom
        1
        $ sudo cat rom > /tmp/vbios.rom
        cat: rom: Input/output error

Am I doing something wrong or is this an error in the code?


Thanks,

Paul

On certain UEFI systems, we may need to use an alternative method to
fetch the vbios, so we probably need to export it from the driver via
debugfs.
