xorg-server-1.18.x and xorg-server-1.19.x: xf86Config.c / auto_gpu_device=1 failed to configure my Radeon 280X (commit: 69e4b8e602ecc7b69c75988a447ec5b509b22402)

Here is below the test Xorg configuration (tst.conf). I just checked that removing sections related to other devices, and using only the sections related to the target device as a simple 'skeleton' fixes the issue too. But this last method is not what we want (I hope so). The logs with or without the patch are given too.

tst.conf: http://pastebin.com/SXptHZCh
unpatched.log: http://pastebin.com/kEm1LJ8Z
patched.log: http://pastebin.com/wtWc4Ymx

Wallak.

That's a bit vague.

Please provide the Xorg log and xorg.conf files corresponding to any
issues you're hitting.
