This is not true. The piece of software that lacks "image" support is Clover the open source OpenCL implementation of Gallium/MESA. Any recent AMD gpu uses the amdgpu kernel driver (open source). The binary driver (amdgpu-pro) has the OpenCL libs which also work with the opensource amdgpu driver. The problem is, what recent AMD gpu means. (I use a rx480 that works) If you use a hd7970 - there the radeon (open source) kernel driver is usually used and then the binary OpenCL driver doesn't work. When compiling a custom kernel one can define that the amdgpu driver should be used and then (I think) the above OpenCL setup would also work.
