I configured modesetting as driver:

# cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-device.conf
Section "Device"
  Identifier "AMD"
  Driver "modesetting"
EndSection

It is used now:

But my machine is still rebooting hard with kernels higher than 3.16.

Any other ideas?

You're using the ati/radeon driver. Have you tried the modesetting? Either 
specify modesetting in
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-device.conf, or purge xserver-xorg-video-ati & 
xserver-xorg-video-radeon.

I checked and indeed found it a Richland one.

But no combination of radeon.si_support and amdgpu.si_support helped.

When I saw you had 8570 I thought it was same as I have. Turns out your 8570 is
Richland but my 8570 is Oland. Mine works OK in Stretch with modesetting X 
driver,
but not with amdgpu. Maybe this could help you anyway:

Boot fails unless nomodeset is set

2019-01-21 Thread Robert Pommrich
Hi,

Since the upgrade from jessie to stretch and despite several kernel
upgrades from backports I am bitten by the bug described here:

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=914517

I am running the stretch system with the old 3.16 kernel from jessie.

Could please someone have a look at the bug and advise or make a Debian
Developer aware of the bug?

Best regards,
Robert
