According to the upstream developers, support for your hardware in
amdgpu is experimental and they do not recommend enabling it. I've
prepared a test build with this disabled, which will result in falling
back to the radeon driver. Please install the appropriate debs for your
architecture from the link below and report back whether or not this
resolves your display issues. Thanks!

Bug description:
  Version 1.149 of the package does not have
  /lib/firmware/radeon/kaveri_sdma1.bin needed for the latest AMD DRM
  module.

  After booting my monitor is blank.

  For other AMD chipsets *_sdma1.bin is needed as well:
  drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/cik_sdma.c(126): snprintf(fw_name, sizeof(fw_name), "radeon/%s_sdma1.bin", chip_name);

  Similar to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-
  firmware/+bug/1183777, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source
  /linux-firmware/+bug/1218691

  Best regards,
  Timothy
