--- Comment #3 from Ant ([email protected]) ---
Sorry for the delay. OK, so lots of news:

I did see a patch in amd-staging-drm-next 
354ee4815f52219fcd97d91269917261aac0518a ("drm/amd/display: Fix bug that causes
black screen") that sounded ideal but I couldn't apply it cleanly since it's
too out of sync.

After a git bisect, I was pleasantly surprised that the 3 main patches between
rc-1-rc2 for amd/display stuff were all fine. Looks like it's something else
entirely.

I tested out an ubuntu mainline kernel and it worked fine, so the problem is
something different in my custom .config, I guess. Something that has been fine
for 4.17-rc1 and kernels before that but suddenly needs to change for rc2
onwards.

(Bug still present on 4.17-rc5 btw)

    random: fix crng_ready() test

    The crng_init variable has three states:

    0: The CRNG is not initialized at all
    1: The CRNG has a small amount of entropy, hopefully good enough for
       early-boot, non-cryptographical use cases
    2: The CRNG is fully initialized and we are sure it is safe for
       cryptographic use cases.

    The crng_ready() function should only return true once we are in the
    last state.  This addresses CVE-2018-1108.

I'm looking into my config options for RNG/random stuff, but this bug can
probably be bounced somewhere more appropriate now :)
