Subject: [PATCH 3.16 122/370] powerpc: Fix build warning on 32-bit PPC

3.16.42-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Larry Finger <Larry.Finger@...inger.net>

commit 8ae679c4bc2ea2d16d92620da8e3e9332fa4039f upstream.

I am getting the following warning when I build kernel 4.9-git on my
PowerBook G4 with a 32-bit PPC processor:

    AS      arch/powerpc/kernel/misc_32.o
  arch/powerpc/kernel/misc_32.S:299:7: warning: "CONFIG_FSL_BOOKE" is not defined [-Wundef]

This problem is evident after commit 989cea5c14be ("kbuild: prevent
lib-ksyms.o rebuilds"); however, this change in kbuild only exposes an
error that has been in the code since 2005 when this source file was
created.  That was with commit 9994a33865f4 ("powerpc: Introduce
entry_{32,64}.S, misc_{32,64}.S, systbl.S").

The offending line does not make a lot of sense.  This error does not
seem to cause any errors in the executable, thus I am not recommending
that it be applied to any stable versions.

Thanks to Nicholas Piggin for suggesting this solution.

Fixes: 9994a33865f4 ("powerpc: Introduce entry_{32,64}.S, misc_{32,64}.S, systbl.S")
