What's your kernel version ?
Right now, it apparently is an older version:
Linux PPC970FX 4.16.0-1-powerpc64 #1 SMP Debian 4.16.5-1 (2018-04-29)
ppc64 GNU/Linux
which appears to be around the critical one cited there about issues.
However, theere the issue was "windfarm not loaded". To me here it seems
to be loaded, to be almost too aggressive.
In lsmod I see.
windfarm_cpufreq_clamp 3213 1
windfarm_smu_sat 7464 0
windfarm_smu_sensors 7223 6
windfarm_smu_controls 7878 3
windfarm_pm121 12261 0
windfarm_pid 2995 1 windfarm_pm121
I installed also a newer kernel:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 169543 Apr 29 2018 config-4.16.0-1-powerpc64
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 28 Dec 29 18:21 initrd.img ->

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 26 Dec 29 14:16 vmlinux.old ->
vmlinux-4.16.0-1-powerpc64
But yaboot doesn't find it, so I have to boot "old". Maybe this is part
of the issue.
TO me vimlinux seems as correct as vmlinux.old
yaboot has:
image=/vmlinux
label=Linux
read-only
initrd=/initrd.img
image=/vmlinux.old
label=old
read-only
initrd=/initrd.img.old
so it looks all fine to me, why should "old" work and Linux not?
