Well, after reading this thread, I'm personally convinced that if AMD doesn't support Vulkan on -all- GCN cards, there will be an explosive backfire. And I think bridgmans excuse of blaming it on linus is asinine.
EDIT: The exists a politically correct method and a different technically correct method. The chosen path is the politically correct one, but which is definitely not technically correct.
EDIT: So we've got multiple AMD employees saying multiple incompatible things. One says Vulkan will only work on amdgpu, another says only GCN 1.2 and up will be supported on amdgpu (and blames that on linus torvalds), another says amdgpu will support older GCN revisions out of tree eventually.....
Come on AMD. You can do better. (Fuck the out of tree bullshit. Fuck the blame game on linus bullshit.) Put -ALL- GCN support in amdgpu and get it upstreamed. If that requires removing GCN support from radeon, then that is exactly what it requires.
