dmesg after setting HDMI screen to 59.94hz

I have a radeon VII with two 4k displays. One connected via HDMI and one
connected via DisplayPort. Neither monitor supports freesync.

Linux 5.0.9 
Mesa 19.0.3

The DisplayPort monitor is working fine.

The HDMI monitor has some problems. On its own I can get it working perfectly.
Here's the output from xrandr:

If it's connected on it shows two problems intermittently:  

1. It flickers occasionally with visual artifacts
2. The screen goes black for a few seconds then comes back


With just the HDMI screen connected this can be solved. If I set the refresh
rate to 59.94 the problems go away and everything is working flawlessly. 

However, as soon as I connect the second monitor by displayport this fix  no
longer works.

With both monitors connected and both running at 60.0hz, the displayport screen
is fine but the HDMI screen flickers. An easy fix I thought: Run the HMDI
screen at 59.94hz and the flicker will go away.


Unfortunately, what actually happens is the entire session freezes after a few
seconds on both X and Wayland. Usually it requires a complete system reset but
I have managed to recover from it a couple of times and I've attached my dmesg
output.

Sometimes the freeze is instant, other times I get up to 10 seconds before the
system freezes.


I also tried 50hz on the HDMI monitor and the same thing happened.

There appears to be two different issues here:


1. HDMI flickers 
2. Running two monitors at different refresh rates causes the driver to crash
