I don't understand.  What hardware?

We are doing a lot of work on Power8 and Power9 hardware from various
manufacturers, and both 12 and -CURRENT behave well, even under stress.

(I have powered down my Power5 machine; I know of two cases where I
cannot move to 12.X, and since I have Power9 in-house, I probably will
not pursue it.)

If you've built ports on it, you may be the first.  You are definitely
at the bleeding edge in this case.  I know of no user documentation for
FreeBSD/RISC-V.
