Either you have a different problem than me (unlikely, as we h=
ave the exact
same symptoms), or you misunderstood my workaround. Or my workaround somehow
doesn't work for you. However, since you talk about actually upgrading the
firmware to a newer version, I'm guessing you didn't understand the workaro=
und.

For my workaround, I neither upgraded nor downgraded any firmware version.
However, Linux 4.8 and Linux 4.9 try to load different files for the same
graphics card. Linux 4.8 loads tonga_smc.bin where as Linux 4.9 loads
tonga_k_smc.bin. Linux 4.8 fully works for me, including 3D acceleration, L=
inux
4.9 runs into the symptoms you described (black screen, fans running full
speed).

Now, if I replace tonga_k_smc.bin with tonga_smc.bin, then Linux 4.9 _also_
fully works for me, including 3D acceleration. That's without upgrading or
downgrading any firmware files. All I did was this:

cp /lib/firmware/amdgpu/tonga_smc.bin /lib/firmware/amdgpu/tonga_k_smc.bin

Here's the md5sum of all my Tonga firmware files:
fa6590cc9c9c1b2e7c92874fe98460fa  tonga_ce.bin
16bb427918581c29c2e910b5757a1b5b  tonga_k_smc.bin
73befe8abbaa7589d4e701ff77291e62  tonga_k_smc.bin.orig

1a81cffe8a10460b8ca9eaad537e7286  tonga_vce.bin

Note that tonga_k_smc.bin and tonga_smc.bin have the same md5sum on my syst=
em,
because I copied tonga_smc.bin to tonga_k_smc.bin to make Linux 4.9 work.
