Because powernv arrived after these other platforms, the defconfigs didn't have PPC_POWERNV disabled, and being default y it gets turned on.Well, that raises the question of why PPC_POWERNV is default y at all?
I think that makes sense. With a bare config, you want all the platforms that can be built to build, so that the kernel you produce is able to boot on as many things as possible. If you want a stripped down config for a particular target then we have defconfigs that do that. cheers
