Re: [RFC PATCH 10/12] drm/amd/display: Use ARCH_HAS_KERNEL_FPU_SUPPORT

Hi Samuel,

Thanks for trying to clean all this up.

One problem below.

Note altivec.

And altivec is enabled in the flags there.

That doesn't match your implementation for powerpc in patch 7, which
only deals with float.

I suspect the AMD driver actually doesn't need altivec enabled, but I
don't know that for sure. It compiles without it, but I don't have a GPU
to actually test. I've added Timothy on Cc who added the support for
powerpc to the driver originally, hopefully he has a test system.

Anyway if that's true that it doesn't need altivec we should probably do
a lead-up patch that drops altivec from the AMD driver explicitly, eg.
as below.

cheers
