Commitd11219ad53("amdgpu: disable powerpc support for the newer display engine") disabled the DCN driver for all of powerpc due to unresolved build failures with some compilers. Further digging shows that the build failures only occur with compilers that default to 64-bit long double. Both the ppc64 and ppc64le ABIs define long double to be 128-bits, but there are compilers in the wild that default to 64-bits. The compilers provided by the major distros (Fedora, Ubuntu) default to 128-bits and are not affected by the build failure. There is a compiler flag to force 128-bit long double, which may be the correct long term fix, but as an interim fix only allow building the DCN driver if long double is 128-bits by default. The bisection in commitd11219ad53must have gone off the rails at some point, the build failure occurs all the way back to the original commit that enabled DCN support on powerpc, at least with some toolchains.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
