mdgpu_dm_helpers.o is built with -msoft-float, display_mode_lib.o is built
with -mhard-float.

-msoft-float is from

arch/powerpc/Makefile:KBUILD_CFLAGS     += $(CC_FLAGS_NO_FPU)

-mhard-float is from

drivers/gpu/drm/amd/display/dc/dml/Makefile:dml_ccflags := $(CC_FLAGS_FPU)
drivers/gpu/drm/amd/display/dc/dml/Makefile:dml_rcflags := $(CC_FLAGS_NO_FPU)
drivers/gpu/drm/amd/display/dc/dml2/Makefile:dml2_ccflags := $(CC_FLAGS_FPU)
drivers/gpu/drm/amd/display/dc/dml2/Makefile:dml2_rcflags := $(CC_FLAGS_NO_FPU)

Unfortunately I have no idea know how to resolve this.
