[RFC/PR] enable CONFIG_DRM_AMDGPU_SI so that Southern Island devices work with amdgpu & radv
Hi,
Using amdgpu is mandatory for Vulkan (radv) support even for older Radeons like CIK/SI.
Now that amdgpu (amdgpu_drv.c) checks for CONFIG_DRM_RADEON and CONFIG_DRM_RADEON_MODULE and does not own Southern Island devices by default, it should be safe to enable CONFIG_DRM_AMDGPU_SI. Users can switch from radeon to amdgpu with grubby as described in the pull request.
Could you please review the PR at: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/kernel/pull-request/5 file changed: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/kernel/pull-request/5#request_diff & if at all possible merge?
Thank you, François
Ack from me for this being fine.
Dave.

Hi François,
I've added it to the Rawhide and Fedora 27 configs. Thanks!
