Dear Radeon Devs,
What's the support status of the AMD FirePro W5170M and AMD FirePro W5130M. I'm confused as to whether these will support 'radeonsi' or 'amdgpu'. After doing exhaustive research I've come across codenames like Tropo XT/LE and Mars XT/LE. On some forums a pci-id was mentioned '6821' but I can't find this anywhere in the pcidb lists in either 'xf86-video-amdgpu' or 'xf86-video-ati'.
When I looked at the the Radeon feature matrix on [1] I'm unable to categorize these two GPU models into any of the categories S.Islands, C.Islands or V.Islands. So are these GPU's supported by 'radeonsi' or by 'amdgpu'? If they're 'radeonsi' what's the support like for those models, can I expect relatively good performance?
The are Cape Verde based asics (Southern Islands family). They are supported by the radeon kernel module and they use the radeonsi mesa driver for 3D, etc. amdgpu is a kernel driver for VI (Volcanic Islands) and newer parts. The radeonsi mesa driver supports SI and CI parts supported by the radeon kernel driver and VI parts supported by the amdgpu kernel driver.

Thank you!
