[PATCH] powerpc/kbuild: set generic machine type for compile with 64-bit toolchain

From: Nicholas Piggin <npiggin@gmail.com>
Date: 2018-05-10 00:26:51
Subsystem: linux for powerpc (32-bit and 64-bit), the rest · Maintainers: Madhavan Srinivasan, Linus Torvalds

The 64-bit toolchain uses the wrong ISA variant for compiling 32-bit
kernels, eve with -m32. Set -mcpu=powerpc which is the generic 32-bit
powerpc machine type and scheduling model. 32-bit platforms and CPUs
can override this with -mcpu= options that come later on the command
line.

This fixes a lot of build failures due to incompatible assembly when
compiling 32-bit kernel with 64-bit toolchain.
