Hi Scott,

This one's giving me a few troubles.

chenhui zhao (6):
      powerpc/mm: any thread in one core can be the first to setup TLB1
      powerpc/cache: add cache flush operation for various e500
      powerpc/rcpm: add RCPM driver

That commit doesn't build with SMP=n, as reported by Guenter:

  arch/powerpc/sysdev/fsl_rcpm.c:32:2: error: implicit declaration of
function 'get_hard_smp_processor_id' [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]

That's not a biggy, I can probably fix it up here.

By adding asm/smp.h?

I missed this since we don't have a non-SMP defconfig that includes this.

      powerpc/mpc85xx: Add CPU hotplug support for E6500

And this one breaks with old binutils (<= 2.22) because of:

  arch/powerpc/kernel/head_64.S:210: Error: Unrecognized opcode: `mttmr'

If you're happy to break the build on older bintuils for those configs then
that's OK with me.

I'm not too bothered, but it's also an easy fix -- patch sent.

      powerpc/8xx: Handle CPU6 ERRATA directly in mtspr() macro

This breaks mpc866_ads_defconfig for me, with lots of:

  arch/powerpc/mm/8xx_mmu.c:139:2: error: memory input 1 is not directly
addressable

That's using gcc < 4.9. With >= 4.9 it builds OK. So again your call on
whether
we drop support for those compilers for that config.

I'd rather not require something that new, especially for a chip so old.

I've sent an untested patch that should fix it.
