Different problem situation:

I first applied the downgrade of libdrm-amdgpu1 2.4.97-1ubuntu1~18.04.1 to 2.4.95-1ubuntu1~18.04.1, on the first launch of a newly installed Ubuntu 18.04.2 without any of the 400 updates packages available.
This way I got package Kodi working.

Now, after I update everything to the latest version, with libdrm-amdgpu1 as well, I can no longer downgrade it. If you force it, the system will crash.

I've figured that the removal of mesa-vdpau-drivers (which also removes vdpau-driver-all) gets kodi running normally again, even with VDPAU activated on settings/player.

So for the moment, that's the new solution for kodi's bug:

sudo apt remove mesa-vdpau-drivers
sudo apt-mark hold mesa-vdpau-drivers
