Hi Pascal. I have a Dell laptop with an amd radeon hd 8790 running Ubuntu 16.10. I had opencl support until 16.04 was released and amd's fglrx drivers stopped working. Since then no opencl support was available afaik.
I know amd released recently a new version of their amdgpu-pro driver that supports 16.04. Im also out of luck because linux 4.8 isn't supported in those drivers. I think it's possible to use amdgpu-pro's opencl features up to kernel 4.6 (see https://www.sabeltand.net/amdgpu-1610/) but for more recent kernels it doesn't work... I've been patiently waiting for some solution to get opencl working again but i don't get my hopes up... My next laptop will _NOT_ have an amd card... Regards and please share if you find some solution...
