In the meantime I've upgraded to 18.04 Bionic with kernels 4.15.0-55 and
upward (current: 4.15.0-153), including the patched radeon-driver. So
the flickering - problem is solved for me.

Hello!
A proposal:
make the fix for bug #1791312 depend on either the card-version or (more
flexible) a kernel-option for the radeon-driver.
As told, the fix works well for "AMD/ATI] RV530/M56-P controller"

I did the verification with 18.04 "Bionic" and it was o.k; see Comment# 72.
But I don't have a 16.04 "Xenial" installation, so I can't verify this version.

btw. I had the same result e.g. with "puppy_tahr 6.0.5 boot CD" which has the
same radeon-version (2.37.0).
My guess: the flickering-problem starts with radeon 2.39.0
I tried the glamor / tearfree - advice, but: with NO success; still flickering.
And, btw.: I don't think the flickering is an Xorg-issue;
it starts in "textmode" (!!) as soon as the radeon-kernel-driver loads. I think
the kernel-driver
does NOT read Xorg-configurations.

I found a "kind of work-around":
in grafic-mode, switch the mode several times forward and backward,
e.g.:
xrandr --output LVDS --mode 1440x900
sleep 2
xrandr --output LVDS --mode 1680x1050
put the commands into a script, run that script 2 ... 5 times, until the
flickering suddenly stops.
I tried an advice which I found in the internet:
kernel-option: radeon.new_pll=0
But that results in: ... radeon: unknown parameter 'new_pll' ignored
So: my radeon-driver HAS NO new_pll option.

Sorry, but it turned out that the flickering-issue is NOT really fixed with the
upstream-kernel.
Sometimes a boot again ends in a flickering screen as before.
Now I have the following scenario:
- boot 14.04.5 LTS with kernel 3.13.0-157
-> screen is ALWAYS o.k.; NO flickering
- boot 18.04.1 LTS

I tested the flickering-issue with the upstream-kernel
"linux-image-unsigned-4.19.0-041900rc3-generic_4.19.0-041900rc3.201809120832_amd64.deb"

No more flickering.
So I added the tag "kernel-fixed-upstream" to this report.
