Currently on Arch Linux after they shipped an update to the li=
nux-firmware set
(20170217.12987ca-1), there's been reports of various issues ranging from p=
ower
management failing to in my case (AMD Radeon RX 460) Xorg failing to work at
all (it either blinks and goes back to a frozen VT as the GPU hangs, or the=
GPU
hangs on a full-screen corruption of some kind.) This is broken on both ker=
nel
4.9.11 and 4.10 in my testing, on Xorg 1.19.1. The system still responds to=
SSH
connections, but fails to shutdown properly if attempted over that. Tracker

I've traced it back to a specific commit to linux-firmware,=20=20=20=20
7a110b85a46d7f884f4ac712ff52e02ed57234bd,
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmw=
are.git/commit/amdgpu/carrizo_ce.bin?id=3D7a110b85a46d7f884f4ac712ff52e02ed=
57234bd,
pushed to the git repo on 2-17-17, which updates a large subset of the firm=
ware
images used by AMDGPU. Seeing as how this is a binary file set, I'm really =
not
sure how to proceed from here in testing it to give any more useful informa=
tion
here.=20
Apologies if this is the wrong place to report a firmware issue, but I was
unsure where to file it otherwise.
