A progress report.
I patched drm-v5.0 with changes based on this upstream commit:
    commit 466bcb75b0791ba301817cdadeed20398f2224fe

        drm/amdgpu/psp: ignore psp response status

        In some cases, psp response status is not 0 even there is no
        problem while the command is submitted. Some version of PSP FW
        doesn't write 0 to that field.
        So here we would like to only print a warning instead of an error
        during psp initialization to avoid breaking hw_init and it doesn't
        return -EINVAL.

After that the driver attaches successfully and produces dmesg output very
similar to that of Linux 5.3.0.

Still, that's not a success.  The screen remains totally blank / black after the
driver attaches.  Whether I stay in the console or start X (via startx) it
remains the same.  In Xorg.log I see that the X server successfully loads amdgpu
and there are no errors.  I can interact with the system in blind mode, it still
accepts input and reacts to it.
