Of note, I just compared to a DIFFERENT system I own, also running amdgpu ... the spam is there too but dumping real information (still, spam is undesired)

These particular messages are fixed in current kernels.
Comment 6 Fermulator 2018-08-24 13:25:34 UTC
"current kernels", more specifically?
(Fedora runs pretty bleeding edge kernel-wise)

If we have a "fix in kernel version X", and a different bug report to duplicate against, we can close then then?

4.16 or newer.

I was only referring to the

  [drm] {1920x1080, 2200x1125@148500Khz}

messages. The "SADs count" messages are still there.
Comment 8 Fermulator 2018-08-27 15:30:26 UTC
(understood) - so the SADs count is a bug to be fixed
(the comparison I provided against legit data is N/A here and anyway is fixed in newer kernel versions)
