Christopher: I have tried Ubuntu 17.10 with the upstream kernels (4.15.2 and 4.16-rc1) and both behave similarly:
no kernel parameters: screens chained by MST DisplayPort mirror picture, visible as a single screen
radeon.mst=1 : screens chained by MST DisplayPort work properly (seen as separate screens), build screen doesn't work
radeon.mst=1,radeon.dpm=1 : subsequentely flickering screens, not usable
