Thanks for tracing this down. I'm not sure, however, whether your bug report
will get any attention there. It's better to post it on the official kernel
mailing list called linuxppc-dev [1] and the kernel bugzilla [2].

You still report your bugs against src:linux. Even in Debian Ports, virtually
all source changes are made through the normal packages in unstable. We
don't have separate package sources in Debian Ports.
Alternatively, you can just open a PR yourself like I did for SuperH (sh4) [3].
Don't forget to create a changelog entry with "dch --no-auto-nmu".
