DRM2 doesn't support anything later than mid-Haswell. The chips in
question all pre-date 2007. Users of low-volume hardware on chips from
that period are welcome to continue to sustain themselves on the drm2
port just as the other 95+% of the user base will use what is now
referred to as drm-next. Even by powerpc maintainers' admission DRM2
also only barely works there. I've promised Justin that I'll make
drm-next work on Talos once POWER9 support is solid enough.

Cheers.
