You seem to only have the big endian kernels in there... Open Power is
essentially LE (and in fact that AST graphic chips doesn't have
functional endian swappers which means you'll get wrong colors on a
BE system but we don't "support" BE OSes on it anyway).

Any chance you can spin the ppc64el packages as well ?

Cheers,
Ben.

Title:
  powerpc: backport AST graphic driver updates for OpenPower

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged
Status in linux source package in Utopic:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  The OpenPower machines such as the Tyan dev board use the ASpeed BMC which has a built
  in graphic controller. The driver for this doesn't work properly on PowerPC at the moment,
  this series of patches is a backport from upstream to fix that. It would be nice to have this
  in utopic kernel.

  Each patch in this archive is a cherry-pick and identifies the
  original upstream commit.

  All except patch 1 cherry-pick cleanly. Patch 1 needed some hand applying due to some
  unrelated changes that went upstream since 3.16 but the fixup is trivial.
