I'm attempting to use a Radeon 5700 XT card on and OpenPOWER machine, specifically the talos II, and I'm running into an issue where no display output connections are found.

Relevant dmesg when drm.debug=0xff (note the lack of dm):

[    3.174834] [drm] add ip block number 0 <nv_common>
[    3.174834] [drm] add ip block number 1 <gmc_v10_0>
[    3.174835] [drm] add ip block number 2 <navi10_ih>
[    3.174837] [drm] add ip block number 3 <psp>

[    3.174841] [drm] add ip block number 7 <vcn_v2_0>

Relevant kernel config:

CONFIG_DRM_AMDGPU=m
CONFIG_DRM_AMDGPU_SI=y
CONFIG_DRM_AMDGPU_CIK=y
CONFIG_DRM_AMDGPU_USERPTR=y
# CONFIG_DRM_AMDGPU_GART_DEBUGFS is not set
CONFIG_DRM_AMD_ACP=y
CONFIG_DRM_AMD_DC=y

Kernel: 5.4.0-2.fc32.ppc64le
Mesa/libdri: 19.3.0~rc5-1.fc32

I've tracked this down to the following: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/v5.4/drivers/gpu/drm/amd/display/Kconfig#L23

Essentially, the DNC 2.0 code is only being enabled on x86 and not on any other architecture. When I change this to enable it, I run into the reason why - the DCN 2.0 code is using floating point math within the kernel which is only supported on x86 (and it looks like s390). An example can be see here: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/v5.4/drivers/gpu/drm/amd/display/dc/calcs/dcn_calcs.c#L629

Additionally, the associated makefiles assume that we are always running on a machine with sse support (x86): https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/v5.4/drivers/gpu/drm/amd/display/dc/calcs/Makefile#L27
