Description:
That laptop cannot boot with free software until someone replaces the nonfree SMU firmware in Coreboot.
The video card also doesn't work with free software as you need a nonfree video BIOS. With the Video BIOS, the radeon driver works in recent linux-libre as I added support for it.
If I recall well, it also need the modified /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-radeon.conf that is mentioned in this page to have Xorg working:

I've not tested Wayland on it yet.
