I think that is a false dichotomy. The (free) Linux driver consists of a
kernel part and a (or actual several) userspace components.

For the kernel part there is the "radeon" driver and the new "amdgpu" driver.
Mesa contains a "r600g" and a "radeonsi" part (+ other drivers for really old hw).

Even the newest GCN 1.2 cards are powered by radeonsi in userspace - just
using the amdgpu kernel driver.

According to [1] both the FirePro W5170M and the FirePro W5130M are GCN 1.0
cards which means - IIRC(!) - that they use the "radeon" kernel driver (and
the radeonsi mesa driver.
