Subject: [BUG] AMD Radeon Pro 5600M with 8GB of HBM2 memory shows blank screen
 on Linux

The AMD Radeon Pro 5600M with 8GB of HBM2 memory GPU is found in MacBook Pro 16 inch, 2019 (MacBookPro16,4).

The GPU fails to work on Linux, thus a blank black screen gets displayed on boot.

If nomodeset is added as a kernel parameter, we are able to access Linux easily.

The link below contains the journalctl of the failed boot :-
