            Bug ID: 153451
           Summary: [bisected] display corruption issue on Mobility Radeon
                    HD 3650 (RV635/M86) since kernel 4.7
           Product: Drivers
           Version: 2.5
    Kernel Version: 4.7 and above
          Hardware: x86-64
                OS: Linux
              Tree: Mainline
            Status: NEW
          Severity: high
          Priority: P1
         Component: Video(DRI - non Intel)
          Assignee: drivers_video-dri at kernel-bugs.osdl.org
          Reporter: larchunix+kernel at gmail.com
        Regression: No

Photo of the corruption issue (poor quality but the image is ugly anyway)

After upgrading the kernel package to version 4.7 on ArchLinux, display output
gets corrupted as soon as the radeon module is loaded on my laptop.

As a result, the display output is *ugly*: flickering, bluring, wrong color
depth... (see attachment)

Involved hardware:
- ID_MODEL_FROM_DATABASE=RV635/M86 [Mobility Radeon HD 3650]
- ID_PCI_CLASS_FROM_DATABASE=Display controller
- ID_PCI_INTERFACE_FROM_DATABASE=VGA controller
- ID_PCI_SUBCLASS_FROM_DATABASE=VGA compatible controller
- ID_VENDOR_FROM_DATABASE=Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI]
- DRIVER=radeon
- MODALIAS=pci:v00001002d00009591sv00001631sd0000C223bc03sc00i00
- PCI_CLASS=30000
- PCI_ID=1002:9591
- PCI_SLOT_NAME=0000:01:00.0
- PCI_SUBSYS_ID=1631:C223
- SUBSYSTEM=pci

Running git-bisect points out the following commit as the culprit:

    drm/radeon: don't use fractional dividers on RS[78]80 if SS is enabled

    Seems to cause problems for some older hardware. Kudos to Thom Kouwenhoven
    for working a lot with the PLLs and figuring this out.

The change has two hunks:
- reverting only the first one doesn't change anything,
- reverting only the second one fix the corruption issue.
