4.20-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
From: Greg Kroah-Hartman gregkh@linuxfoundation.org
This reverts commit d412deb85a4aada382352a8202beb7af8921cd53 which is commit 6f5b9f018f4c7686fd944d920209d1382d320e4e upstream.
It breaks the powerpc build, so drop it from the tree until a fix goes upstream.
Is this necessary on 4.20? The build failures I reported were on 4.19 only. The 4.20.2-rc1 kernel for my Powermac G5 builds with and without that patch, both boot fine, no visible differences. Again however, Breno is authoritative here.
If there's no difference on 4.20, then maybe it's not needed there? :)
And yes, I would like confirmation from Breno as well.
thanks,
