I decided to put a discrete graphics card into a PC and found a fitting Radeon HD 7450.
It works, but there is strange whiteness like the brightness is oversaturated and
light places turn into other colors:
* on fbcon, right after radeondrmfb initializes
* in X after powersave
The colors return to normal after a VT switch or two.

Kernels are 5.0 and 5.1-rc1.
Is it just kernels 5.0 and 5.1? There haven't really been any display
related changes to radeon in ages. Possibly a duplicate of:
