So, can i say the working firmware binary is this one?

Commit 8f070131
amdgpu: Update ISP FW for isp v4.1.1

 From internal git commit:
39b007366cc76ef8c65e3bc6220ccb213f4861fb

Signed-off-by: Pratap Nirujogi <pratap.nirujogi@....com>

There are too many changes between them, so i can't tell exactly which 
change caused this. So, from my side
1. Will try these two firmware to see if we have the same issue.
2. It has been quite a long time since last release, will see if need to 
release a latest one.

Bin
