AMD Hardware drivers are built into the kernel so you don't need to bother. However you should run a system update. pacman -Syu .

As @Khsh01 said the drivers are inbuilt to the kernel.

You can see this in the output you posted -

As advised, run an update with pacman -Syu , then reboot and you should be good to go.
