Ok, this has been going on since -rc1, which is much too long.

And considering that neither the ppc people nor the drm people seem
interested in fixing this, and it doesn't revert cleanly I think the
sane solution seems to be to just remove PPC64 support for DRM_AMD_DC
entirely.

IOW, does something like this (obviously nor a proper patch, but you
get the idea) fix the ppc build for you?

This too has been going on since -rc1, but it's not obvious what caused it.

At a guess, looking around the amba changes, I'm assuming it's

  7719a68b2fa4 ("ARM: 9192/1: amba: fix memory leak in amba_device_try_add()")

Does reverting that commit make it go away?
