Description
Hello @Maratyszcza and team,
I would like to have PPC64 support on cpuinfo project. I was able to fork it[1], and together with some friends (Rogério and Alfredo), got it partially ported to PPC64. There are some missing things, but, at this moment, all the tests are passing.
That said, I have some questions regarding the PPC64 port:
- Are you interested in adding PPC64 support into cpuinfo project?
- If you kindly accept our contribution, what is the best method to contribute it?
- Do you want to have the PPC64 support fully implemented before us trying to contribute, or, can we start the review process with what the current code, while we get the port complete.
Thank you,
Breno

Review the partially completed PPC64 port in the linked fork and compare it with the cpuinfo project; the issue does not name files or specific missing pieces. Clarify the contribution and review path with maintainers, and consider the work complete when PPC64 support is fully implemented and all tests pass.
