Re: [PATCH 1/3] powerpc: Emulation support for load/store instructions on LE

From: Anton Blanchard <hidden>
Date: 2016-11-02 21:04:37
Also in: lkml

Hi Ravi,
emulate_step() uses a number of underlying kernel functions that were
initially not enabled for LE. This has been rectified since. So, fix
emulate_step() for LE for the corresponding instructions.
Thanks. Should this be queued up for stable?
