Title:
  Black screen on boot with AMD Radeon HD 7970/8970 OEM / R9 280X

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  [1]
  Using the default "radeon" driver result in black screen on boot. Waiting 
until what looks like X finish initializing, putting the computer to sleep and 
awake it again almost always works as a workaround.

  dmesg:

  [    5.165441] [drm:radeon_dp_link_train [radeon]] *ERROR* channel eq failed: 
5 tries
  [    5.165453] [drm:radeon_dp_link_train [radeon]] *ERROR* channel eq failed

  And it looks like the DisplayPort is not initialized correctly.

  "Black screen" in this context means nothing works (no TTY:s).

  [2]
  Disabling si_support (GCN 1.0) in grub results in system always boot correct 
from a shutdown state but awake from sleep doesn't work.

  [3]
  Switching to the experimental (for GCN 1.0 cards) amdgpu driver result in the 
same behavior as in [2].
