Poll: Is anyone using nouveau driver on ppc64 system?

2021-10-07 Thread Mathieu Malaterre
Hi all, One of the kernel maintainers is wondering if the nouveau driver is completely broken with 64K pages ? So my question is simply: is anyone out there using a ppc64 system with nouveau on a default linux-image-powerpc64 debian system (64K page). I am only interested in ppc64be system only.
