Commit 5e9dcb6188a4 ("powerpc/boot: Expose Kconfig symbols to wrapper")
was wrong, but commit e41b93a6be57 ("powerpc/boot: Fix build failures
with -j 1") was also wrong.

The correct dependency is:

  $(obj)/serial.o: $(obj)/autoconf.h

However, I do not see the reason why we need to copy autoconf.h to
arch/power/boot/. Nor do I see consistency in the way of passing
CONFIG options.

decompress.c references CONFIG_KERNEL_GZIP and CONFIG_KERNEL_XZ, which
are passed via the command line.

serial.c includes autoconf.h to reference a couple of CONFIG options,
but this is fragile because we often forget to include "autoconf.h"
from source files.

In fact, it is already broken.

ppc_asm.h references CONFIG_PPC_8xx, but utils.S is not given any way
to access CONFIG options. So, CONFIG_PPC_8xx is never defined here.

Pass $(LINUXINCLUDE) to make sure CONFIG options are accessible from
all .c and .S files in arch/powerpc/boot/.

This breaks our skiroot_defconfig, I don't know why yet:

  In file included from /kisskb/src/arch/powerpc/boot/../../../lib/decompress_unxz.c:236:0,
                   from /kisskb/src/arch/powerpc/boot/decompress.c:42:
  /kisskb/src/arch/powerpc/boot/../../../lib/xz/xz_dec_bcj.c: In function 'bcj_powerpc':
  /kisskb/src/arch/powerpc/boot/../../../lib/xz/xz_dec_bcj.c:166:11: warning: implicit declaration of function 'get_unaligned_be32' [-Wimplicit-function-declaration]
     instr = get_unaligned_be32(buf + i);

OK, now I see the cause of the error.

I will insert a new patch in v3.

Thanks.
