[Mesa-dev] AMD RXxxx/Vega: amd-staging-4.12 or amd-staging-drm-next

[Dieter Nützel]

Hello Alex,

which is the 'right' way to switch to (from amd-staging-4.11)?
4.13-rx UP (like Phoronix 'found';-)) show nice improvements.

Sadly I'm hit by the BAD 'e1000e' nic regression.
NetworkManager switch it on and off over and over again, since 4.11 UP.
