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 ?

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.
