Source? Afaics it's more like: Yes, GCN is considered experimental, but
even if you enable the amdgpu support for CIK parts you have to provide
two module parameters on boot to activate it -- hence you can't really
call that "Sea Island cards are enabled by default" imho. See
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/Kconfig
for details (it's the same in 4.13). That stuff was changed quite a bit
for 4.13; one of those commits was
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=2b059658d6796a096ef06be9da994d6c44401d5b
which reads "There is no feature parity yet for CIK, in particular
amdgpu doesn't support HDMI/DisplayPort audio without DC."

For me all of this says: It's way to early to switch to amdgpu for GCN
or CIK GPUs.
