Commit c153693d7eb9eeb28478aa2deaaf0b4e7b5ff5e9 was what caused this failure https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/1/17/24
this issue had been fixed in kernel-4.5.0-0.rc3.git0.2.fc24 up to kernel-4.5.0-0.rc4.git3.1.fc24 and is now back again in kernel-4.5.0-0.rc5.git0.1.fc24: http://ppc.koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=3166528
Fixed with kmod-22-4.fc24 plus kernel built against it
