<pre>Putting a Radeon graphics card into the PCI slot of an Aarch64 board (the
particular one I tried is the Solidrun MACCHIATObin) results in:

I've tried 3 different radeon cards:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] RV620
LE [Radeon HD 3450]
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI]
RV710/M92 [Mobility Radeon HD 4530/4570/545v]
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI]
RV530LE [Radeon X1600/X1650 PRO]
All behave the exact same.
I presume the problem is caused by the (lack of) BIOS on aarch64 boards not
initializing the GPU the same way an x86 box does.
This is on kernel 4.4.52 (latest kernel supported by the board; could try
pulling DRI patches from newer kernels if there's any hope of changes being
there already), libdrm 2.4.82</pre>
