Missing OpenCL for GCN-1 cards under linux

Hello,

I've installed the latest kernel 4.17 and the latest driver amdgpu-pro-opencl-18.20.606296.

But my GCN-1 card show no support for OpenCL:

# clinfo

Number of platforms                           0

The sad things is that, if I switch to Mesa OpenCL implementation:

# clinfo

So, what I have to think? That Mesa developers are better than AMD developers at supporting OpenCL?

It can be awkward, in front of good support for later cards like GCN-2 and above.

If older cards will never be supported, it's better to say it. So people can search for alternative.

I'm sorry for harsh words, but I'm waiting from long time for use my old card.

TIA
