I don't know if this might help but I just noticed the AMD firmwares have been updated in the linux-firmware git: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/

Quoting: TuxeeWhat does dmesg say? No powerplay in red? As far as firmware goes - hashes are more interesting, since the files don't vary in name and hardly vary in size. Next point: How many displays attached? Finally: It works most of the time, which means I can get 10 boots in a row without any hiccups, then 2 boots with a plethora of errors during boot, then back to normal.

Currently only one monitor (Samsung P2270HD) is connected using HDMI port.

Basically this is what I did to install the graphic card:

I haven't really followed this because my system works fine and I'm such a selfish bastard, but looking at what you've been discussing, these changes in Linux 5.6.5 and 5.5.18 seem like they could be interesting, possibly:
drm/amd/display: Check for null fclk voltage when parsing clock table
drm/amdgpu/powerplay: using the FCLK DPM table to set the MCLK

Indeed. :)

Struck me, too. I've updated to 5.6.5 on my Ubuntu 20.04 - the last two boots went fine. I'll see. There are new BIOS files available, too though I'm a bit reluctant to give them a try.
Tuxee Apr 21, 2020
Just tried the live image of Manjaro 20.0rc2 with a kernel 5.6.5 (didn't check the Mesa details, but I assume 20.0.4) - gave me unbearable screen flickering (never seen that before) and a whole bunch of powerplay errors in the syslog. I'll try a proper install once I find enough time, but the live image was a letdown.

You might want to skip Kernel 5.6.5 altogether, it was released with an AMDGPU regression that prevents reboot/shutdown. The issue has been fixed in 5.6.6.

Well, mainline 5.6.5 has been working fine on my Ubuntu 20.04 during the limited time I spent with it. 5.6.6 has yet to arrive in the repos.

It's in the repos now, but I didn't have any trouble with 5.6.5 either. Must be specific hardware only. But 5.6.6 does include another powerplay fix, so might be worth it to you in any case.

I installed it (sudo cp -va amdgpu/ /lib/firmware/ and sudo update-initramfs -u, according to this article ) on my Linux Mint 19.3 and now I am getting a lot of warnings "Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/amdgpu/ ... for module amdgpu" every time something is using update-initramfs (e. g. every time I am installing new kernel).

That command seems ok, to be safe it's probably better to open up a gui as sudo and copy paste all the amdgpu firmware in /lib/firmware/amdgpu
