If you build amdgpu as a module, it will be loaded and initialized from disk or from initramfs rather late.
If you have amdgpu built-in, then it will be initialized very early, before your root filesystem is mounted.
The firmware files are installed to disk from the distro firmware package, then integrated by the kernel build system into the kernel binary. You need to have the firmware package installed first before you can build the kernel that way.
