Sorry...I was using the Lynx browser to type out the reply last night and
didn't include all the details.  :-)

My report was related to this issue.  On every distro I've tried (Ubuntu 19.04,
Fedora 30, OpenSuSE Tumbleweed), whenever it tries to initialize the firmware,
the system goes to a black screen.  The only way for me to get around it is to
boot with nomodeset, remove raven_dmcu.bin, update my initrd, and reboot.

My tests were to provide a baseline: fresh install, no workarounds applied,
with kernel 5.2rc7 and latest linux-firmware package (AFAIK.)  Under those
conditions, raven_dmcu.bin loads, I can get to the GUI, but seeing garbage on
the screen.

When I have some time this weekend, I'll do some more testing/sift through the
logs/try building 5.2 final and see if anything jumps out at me.  I'll also
retry my tests with idle=nomwait.
