[Linux PPC] [X1000] [e5500] Kernel 6.17 testing and DRM issue

[Christian Zigotzky]

Hi All,

Here is the alpha5 of kernel 6.17 for X1000 and e5500 machines (X5000/20, X5000/40, Mirari, and QEMU VMs).

I created kernels with and without the drm-next-2025-07-30 updates [1] because of the issue with the Radeon graphics framebuffer device #15. [2] 

Download and further information: https://github.com/chzigotzky/kernels/releases/tag/v6.17.0-alpha5

Please test both kernels.

Thanks,
Christian
