I tried to copy radeon-ucode to /lib/firmware/radeon but it doesn't work.

Can you tell me, how does the kernel where to look for driver firmware?

The firmware is built in to kernel modules. The complaints you're seeing are essentially a bug in the firmware API. The driver will panic if firmware doesn't load.

Should be fixed in drm-next
