You can edit the kext AMD9510controllerkext. Right click on it and select "show package contents" then open the macOS folder and drag the controller to desktop. download iHex (free) and open it, drag controller to iHex window. Go to top tool bar and select "Edit" scroll to "Find" and then scroll right to "find". on the top left of iHex window select "text" mode. Type in AMD R9 xxx. then type in AMD RX 580 in the second window. Go to right side of window and select "Next" just hit it once. The script R9 xxx should light up yellow. Now hit the "replace" tab once ( if you hit it twice it will add the new name twice and corrupt the file. It willl flash once and the one will change to RX 580. Close iHex and hit save option. Now drag the edited controller back to macOS folder and replace. Run kext Wizard before reboot. I've done this many times, and it works until the next update. save a copy of the original kext in a folder before you do the edit in case you need to replace it again.
Here's an example my RX Vega has the name AMD RX xxx but I did the edit and named it RX Vega 64. I also named my CPU but thats a different process.
