The binary packages built from firmware-nonfree intentionally do not
have any relations to kernel versions.  Whenever there is an ABI-
incompatible change in firmware, the firmware should be given a new
filename.  It is not an error to use a new firmware package with an old
kernel.

Hi Jean-Dominique,

are you mixing stable and testing? As far as I can see 
Firmware-nonfree/20190114-1 isn't available for stable/stretch. Maybe 
you also need to use a newer kernel. The Debian changelog 
(https://tracker.debian.org/media/packages/f/firmware-nonfree/changelog-20190114-1) 
mention "Update to linux-support 4.19.0-1".

Bug#921114: no display on GL applications

[Jean-Dominique Frattini]

Package: firmware-amd-graphics
Version: 20190114-1
Severity: critical
Debian: Stretch amd64
Regression: Yes
Graphic card: AMD Radeon Rx 580


Good Evening,

since the latest update of xserver-xorg-video-amdgpu and 
firmware-amd-graphics, most GL applications do not display anything and 
display this error message in the console:


amdgpu: The CS has been cancelled because the context is lost.

This makes Debian unusable for developing and running GL programs.
Note that downgrading to firmware-amd-graphics_20180825-1_all.deb seems 
to fix the issue.
