Subject: drm/amd/display: only use hard-float, not altivec on powerpc
Date: Wed, 27 Mar 2024 13:00:42 -0700
The compiler flags enable altivec, but that is not required; hard-float
is sufficient for the code to build and function.
Drop altivec from the compiler flags and adjust the enable/disable code
to only enable FPU use.
