[oi-dev] AMDgpu 1.1.2 and OpenChrome 0.5.159 drivers

[C Bergström]

sorry - drive-by stupid question. The "AMDGPU" driver is this the same
things as the new driver going into the linux kernel? The old open
source driver was called Radeon..  The "amdgpu" driver I'm aware of
was originally planned to be Fiji class cards (Volcanic Islands?) and
forward, but they ended up (recently) porting it to Hawaii class cards
(known at Southern Islands)

I'm not sure if this is the same or similar thing and just curious..
(If it is that would be very cool)
