Description EoD 2017-02-24 21:17:31 UTC 
Currently my Tonga (AMD R9 380X) has problems due to the outdated firmwares in the package sys-kernel/linux-firmware. I have version sys-kernel/linux-firmware-9999 installed.

The same issue is described in detail upstream: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=192921

Updating the amdgpu firmware might also fix bug 606710 or even bug 600286.


Here is my dmesg:
