Commit d11219ad53dc disabled the DCN driver for all platforms that
define PPC64 due long build issues during "make allmodconfig" using
cross-compilation. Cross-compilation defaults to the ppc64_defconfig
and thus big-endian toolchain configuration. The ppc64le platform uses a
different ABI and doesn't suffer from the build issues. Thus keep the
DCN driver disabled only for big-endian ppc64 builds and avoid
regression for ppc64le users of the amdgpu driver. Distros are mostly
focusing on ppc64le and that's likely why it got unnoticed, because
there were no build issues related to the amdgpu driver on ppc64le in
the 5.19 development cycle.
Tested by a local rebuild on ppc64le and using make.cross from a x86_64
machines.
