[PATCH 21/23] gcc-plugins: move GCC version check for PowerPC to Kconfig

From: Masahiro Yamada <hidden>
Date: 2018-02-16 18:38:49
Also in: linux-kbuild, lkml
Subsystem: gcc plugins, kernel build + files below scripts/ (unless maintained elsewhere), linux for powerpc (32-bit and 64-bit), the rest · Maintainers: Kees Cook, Nathan Chancellor, Nicolas Schier, Madhavan Srinivasan, Michael Ellerman, Linus Torvalds

For PowerPC, GCC 5.2 is the requirement for GCC plugins.  Move the
version check to Kconfig, and remove the ugly checker.
