This patch doesn't work for me either. It has since occurred to me that 
while I do have CONFIG_AMD_MEM_ENCYRPT=y, I have 
CONFIG_AMD_MEM_ENCRYPT_ACTIVE_BY_DEFAULT=n, because it was broken with 
amdgpu (unfortunately a downgrade from radeon in this respect). Tried it 
again just now and it looks like it's now able to enable KMS, but all it 
displays is serious-looking errors.

Sorry for not mentioning that earlier. I'll send you my .config and 
command line off-list.

Thanks,
Alex.
