Hello there!
I was hoping it would possible to enable CONFIG_DRM_AMDGPU_CIK in the stable kernel builds?
This would allow AMD Hawaii owners to use the new "amdgpu" drivers. As it stands, those wanting reasonable 3D performance can't upgrade past kernel 4.4 because the proprietary "fglrx" driver is obsoleted in later versions, leaving "radeon" as the only choice.
I have compiled locally with this config setting and the amdgpu driver seems to work pretty well. I don't think this would affect anyone negatively as users would still need to manually disable the "radeon" driver and pass the kernel parameter to enable amdgpu on experimental hardware before the driver would be chosen.
Thank you for the consideration!
Egbert, Stefan - Do you have an opinion here? I left it disabled because it was marked as experimental (and still is). -Jeff -- Jeff Mahoney SUSE Labs
