See if anything from here is missing in your firmware-amd-graphics package (that would be some of the polaris*.bin).
dpkg -L firmware-amd-graphicsView PC info
I used dpkg -L firmware-amd-graphics in Terminal and got back:
"dpkg-query: package 'firmware-amd-graphics' is not installed"
I have narrowed it down to an issue with Mint as I tried Solus and Antergos and both worked fine with newer kernels.

I tried installing it through terminal using "sudo apt-get install firmware-amd-graphics" and that returned
"Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package firmware-amd-graphics is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

Something is seriously messed up with your Mint installation then (may be some repo is missing?). While you are figuring it out (try asking on Mint forums), you can just download one from here.
Either install it with dpkg -i, or better manually extract all *.bin files to /lib/firmware/radeon
And then, run:
sudo update-initramfs -u
