They are mainline patches that may get backported to 6.1.  I'm wondering 
if the patches applied cleanly as they appear to contain:

+static struct regset ppc32_linux_gregset = {
+  NULL, ppc32_linux_supply_gregset
+};
...
+ppc_linux_regset_from_core_section (struct gdbarch *core_arch,
+                                   const char *sect_name, size_t sect_size)
...
+      if (tdep->wordsize == 4)
+       return &ppc32_linux_gregset;
