Mesa 25.1.3 emergency update released for AMD Radeon RX 9000 series (RDNA4)

Developer Eric Engestrom announced the release of Mesa 25.1.3, an unscheduled emergency release to fix AMD GFX12 (RDNA4 - Radeon RX 9000 series).

From the release announcement:

This is an emergency release, out of the normal schedule, to fix a regression for AMD GFX12 (RDNA4) users who have an old firmware.

The next bugfix release is still due at the previously scheduled date, on June 18th.

The changelog simply notes:

25.1.2 - instant crash on upgrade, very first attempt at a new surface

With that in mind you'll be okay waiting on the next update if you're not on an RDNA4 GPU. Here's the release schedule:

25.1	2025-06-18	25.1.3
	2025-07-02	25.1.4
	2025-07-16	25.1.5
	2025-07-30	25.1.6
	2025-08-13	25.1.7
	2025-08-27	25.1.8	Last planned 25.1.x release.
25.2	2025-07-16	25.2.0-rc1	25.2 branchpoint
	2025-07-23	25.2.0-rc2
	2025-07-30	25.2.0-rc3
	2025-08-06	25.2.0-rc4	or 25.2.0 final

If this issue only affected "users who have an old firmware.", is there a way to update that firmware? Or are you stuck on whatever firmware came with the card?

I think my mate was affected by this issue, but looking at firmware updater I don't see anything for the GPU there :/
