Greetings!

I ran some kernel drm/ttm unit tests to check for quirks in the drm/ttm subsystem. One thing I found out that the drm_format_helper_test fails Subtest: drm_test_fb_xrgb8888_to_xrgb2101010 on my Talos II (ppc64) which I run in BigEndian mode:

Looking at these results I suspect this to be an endian issue, probably affecting other BE arches too.

Full dmesg + kernel .config attached.
