Subject: nouveau broken on Riva TNT2 in 5.9.0-rc8: GPU not supported on big-endian

Hello,
I'm testing 5.9.0-rc8 and found that Riva TNT2 stopped working:
[    0.000000] Linux version 5.9.0-rc8+ (zary@...l) (gcc (Debian 8.3.0-6) 8.3.0, GNU ld (GNU Binutils for Debian) 2.31.1) #326 SMP Fri Oct 9 22:31:40 CEST 2020

[   14.771782] nouveau: probe of 0000:01:00.0 failed with error -38

big-endian? WTF? The machine is x86.

It works fine with Debian 5.7 kernel (5.7.10-1~bpo10+1):
