Hi Michel:
Since the lock ups occurred during ordinary (KDE) desktop use when I wasn't
running 3D games I ignored mesa upgrades and instead concentrated first on
trying a new kernel version (from 4.16.5 to 4.16.12 because 4.16.12 had
conveniently just been propagated from Debian Sid to Buster).  And so far it
appears that upgrade makes a large improvement for the RX 550.  Previously for
4.16.5 the uptimes before a lock up occurred ranged from 7 hours to 2 days, but
right now with heavy desktop use and a substantial number of runs of the 3D
game, I haven't experienced a single lock up with 4.16.12 with current uptime
since I booted 4.16.12 approaching 3 days.
You may well conclude "problem already solved", but I normally run my computer
24/7 with reboots only when absolutely necessary.  Therefore I would like to
keep this bug report open for a while just to report the maximum uptimes
(hopefully at least several months) I can achieve with this graphics card.
