Problem with Radeon R7 at boot: *ERROR* amdgpu:ring 0 test failed

I get the following message every time at boot:

After long time of search with google I found no solution, does any one have a solution?

You have a Topaz XT radeon card which is not supported (yet ?) by the free radeon nor the amdgpu driver. I'm in the same case and unfortunately there is not much to do.

:( now the only way is to disable it, but unfortunately switcheroo is also disabled, do you know how to enable switcheroo?
