It would seem so, but it is the right information. I double checked that it is right by booting without the video kernel parameter and running dmesg. I got the same radeonfb lines that you show in your message. I think that's part of the problem, radeonfb is compiled into the kernel and active when drm/radeon are being used? On a normal boot with a default configuration, radeonfb is active. It is blacklisted in /etc/modprobe.d/fbdev-blacklist.conf, but it's not compiled as an external kernel module (it's in the kernel itself) so the blacklisting doesn't work.
