How to change Radeon driver to AMDgpu?

I'm reading the wiki but I don't understand.
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/AMDGPU

$ lspci -k -d ::03xx
00:01.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Richland [Radeon HD 8610G]
    Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Device 216c
    Kernel driver in use: radeon
    Kernel modules: radeon, amdgpu
01:00.0 Display controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Sun XT [Radeon HD 8670A/8670M/8690M / R5 M330 / M430 / Radeon 520 Mobile]
    DeviceName: SUN (6660)
    Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Device 216c
    Kernel driver in use: radeon
    Kernel modules: radeon, amdgpu

I'm using the radeon driver, my integrated graphic card is Sea Island and my boot loader is grub.

Plis explain me 2.2.1    2.2.1.1   2.2.2   2.2.2.1  etc

You can use any one of the listed options to set the necessary parameters.

E.g. for https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/AMDGPU … mmand_line -- you can set

radeon.si_support=0 amdgpu.si_support=1

as additional parameters in your /etc/grub/default and appending them to the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT line and regenerating your GRUB config with grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg as listed in https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Kernel_parameters#GRUB
