I've just updated drm-next (drm/i915/amdgpu/radeon) to linux 4.9. The amdgpu driver works well enough that I can now dogfood, but is not quite to the point where I would recommend it to others. The radeon driver experiences sufficiently little churn that I can trivially update it whenever I update drm and amdgpu. However, I have only very lightly tested radeon many months ago, and I personally have no interest in hardware older than the SI that amdgpu now supports. If you care about Radeon I would welcome contributions to its upkeep. Unfortunately, the intersection set between people who care about radeonkms and those attending to its upkeep is currently empty. -M
