dmesg output from kernel-4.17.2-200.fc28.ppc64le

Description of problem:
With kernel-4.17.2-200.fc28.ppc64le the output of my WX5100 is blank.  With kernel-4.16.16-300.fc28.ppc64le the display worked.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel-4.17.2-200.fc28.ppc64le

How reproducible:
This is 100% reproducible.


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot machine with kernel-4.17.2-200.fc28.ppc64le

Actual results:
A blank screen.


Expected results:
The default login screen.

Additional info:
I'm running an AMD WX5100 in a Talos II with dual POWER9 CPUs. There are three lines in the dmesg output for the kernel with the broken display that seem suspicious:

[    4.418241] amdgpu: [powerplay] There must be 1 or more PCIE levels defined in PPTable.
[    4.418305] amdgpu: [powerplay] Failed to populate SCLK during PopulateNewDPMClocksStates Function!
[    4.418415] amdgpu: [powerplay] Failed to populate and upload SCLK MCLK DPM levels!

Comment 1 Alan Mock 2018-06-29 18:22:52 UTC
This only occurs when I have the firmware available for Petitboot to use the WX5100.  When I remove the firmware from Petitboot the 4.17 kernel is able use the display.

Same bug here with 4.17.6-200 and an AMD WX7100, removing firmware from petitboot fixes the issue as well

This message is a reminder that Fedora 28 is nearing its end of life.
On 2019-May-28 Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for
Fedora 28. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases
that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as
EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '28'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 28 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 4 Ben Cotton 2019-05-28 21:51:23 UTC
Fedora 28 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2019-05-28. Fedora 28 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
