When you have resolved this problem, run "git am --continue".
If you prefer to skip this patch, run "git am --skip" instead.
To restore the original branch and stop patching, run "git am --abort".

Then, tried with linuxppc-dev(https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/powerpc/linux.git) "next" branch,
patch got applied, compiled with ppc64le_defconfig and booted on IBM Power8 box.

# uname -r

Looks like patch series needs a rebase against the latest kernel versions.

Thanks for the update.
Sure, I'll update the patch series and post asap.
