Hi Christophe,

Thanks for your answer but I think I don't know how it works with the cherry-pick.

$ git bisect start
As you suspect the problem to be specific to powerpc, I can do

git bisect start -- arch/powerpc

$ git bisect good 68a32ba14177d4a21c4a9a941cf1d7aea86d436f
$ git bisect bad c70a4be130de333ea079c59da41cc959712bb01c
You said that powerpc-5.13-1 is bad so you can narrow the search I think:

git bisect bad powerpc-5.13-1
git bisect good 887f3ceb51cd3~
I tried it but without any success.

git bisect bad powerpc-5.13-1

Output:
fatal: Needed a single revision
Bad rev input: powerpc-5.13-1
I don't understand, on my side it works. Maybe a difference between your version of git and mine.

In that case, just use the SHA corresponding to the merge:

git bisect bad c70a4be130de333ea079c59da41cc959712bb01c

Do you use a BookE machine?
No I don't unfortunately, and I have tried booting in QEMU a kernel built with your config, but it 
freezes before any output.
You can use my kernels and distributions.

It doesn't work, it remains stuck.

But I'm probably not in the best situation: I'm on a PC running Windows 7, with Virtualbox running 
Fedora core 33 and I try to run powerpc QEMU on the fedora core 33. Maybe too many layers to succeed.
