It sounds like the DAC bg/adj values are wrong on that board (they are
tuned on a per board basis and stored in the bios).  You might try a
bios upgrade on the board if there is one available.  If not, please
file a bug (https://bugs.freedesktop.org) and attach a copy of your
dmesg output, the vbios from the problematic board, and if possible
the output of `radeonreg regs dce4`.

To get a copy of your vbios:
(as root)
(use lspci to get the bus id)
cd /sys/bus/pci/devices/<pci bus id>
echo 1 > rom
cat rom > /tmp/vbios.rom
echo 0 > rom

You can get radeonreg here:
