When using virtgpu on a big-endian machine, e.g. powerpc QEMU:
virtio-pci 0000:00:02.0: [drm] *ERROR* fbdev: Failed to setup generic emulation (ret=-2)
or m68k/virt:
virtio-mmio virtio-mmio.125: [drm] *ERROR* fbdev: Failed to setup generic emulation (ret=-2)
and the graphical display fails to come up.
Before, the call to drm_mode_addfb() caused a translation from a fourcc
format (XR24) to a bpp/depth pair (32/24) to a potentially different fourcc
format (BX24 on big-endian), due to the quirk processing in
drm_driver_legacy_fb_format(). After, the original fourcc format (XR24)
is passed unmodified.
However, the virtgpu DRM driver supports only a single format for its
main plane: DRM_FORMAT_HOST_XRGB8888, which is XR24 on little-endian,
and BX24 on big-endian. I.e. on big-endian, virtgpu does not support
XR24, which is the default DRM format, and must be supported by all
drivers. Before, this was reported, but didn't lead to a failure:
virtio-mmio virtio-mmio.125: [drm] bpp/depth value of 32/24 not supported
virtio-mmio virtio-mmio.125: [drm] No compatible format found
As the core virtgpu driver and device support both XR24 and BX24 on both
little-endian and big-endian just fine, fix this extending the list of
supported formats for main plane and cursor plane to XR24/BX24 resp.
AR24/BA24.

The new patch works but I don't see the virtio-mouse-pci pointer
anymore. I see the pointer with -device usb-tablet. Please check the
second patch. I will use the first patch for the RC2 of kernel 6.7.
That's probably partially explained by commit 99748ab64fcc8578 ("drm:
virtio: fix virtio_gpu_cursor_formats"), which forced BA24 for the
cursor plane on big-endian, but unfortunately linked thread doesn't
contain the full picture.
Where is the default cursor format defined?
I see virtio_gpu_mode_dumb_create() still defaults to
DRM_FORMAT_HOST_XRGB8888. However, that can't be the cause, as the
cursor formats require an alpha channel.
