Yes, this conclusion was the result of the following bisect:

$ cat test.sh
#!/usr/bin/env bash

cd "${HOME}"/src/linux || exit 125

set -x

PATH=${HOME}/toolchains/gcc/10.1.0/bin:${PATH} \
make -skj"$(nproc)" ARCH=powerpc CROSS_COMPILE=powerpc-linux- O=out/ppc32 distclean ppc44x_defconfig zImage || exit 125

"${HOME}"/cbl/github/boot-utils/boot-qemu.sh -a ppc32 -k out/ppc32 -t 30s

$ git bisect start v5.8-rc1 v5.7

$ git bisect run test.sh
