The file radeon/RV730_pfp.bin is there in the corresponding 
kernel-firmware package at /lib/firmware/radeon/RV730_pfp.bin . Perhaps it 
is missing from the initrd file that was generated when ypu installed it 
(I have been using the traditional method of generating this file rather 
than using dracut for various reasons).
