Subject: [PATCH 5.4 028/388] powerpc/64s: Always disable branch profiling for prom_init.o

From: Michael Ellerman <mpe@...erman.id.au>

[ Upstream commit 6266a4dadb1d0976490fdf5af4f7941e36f64e80 ]

Otherwise the build fails because prom_init is calling symbols it's
not allowed to, eg:

  Error: External symbol 'ftrace_likely_update' referenced from prom_init.c
  make[3]: *** [arch/powerpc/kernel/Makefile:197: arch/powerpc/kernel/prom_init_check] Error 1
