Description

using latest mainline kernel I get static effect on display and no more (no login manager)

Mine distro is ubuntu 17.10 but I'm facing the same issue also with mainline kernel 4.15-rc6

from dmesg I can see, regarding drm:

This bug existed since older versions, I tried also mainline 4.8

Here you can see mine vga:
lspci | grep VGA
00:01.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Sumo [Radeon HD 6410D]

that actually is "AMD - A4-3300 Llano" an APU.

I'm at your disposal in case you need further information.
