[RFC PATCH v1 06/19] powerpc/32s: Allow deselecting CONFIG_PPC_FPU on mpc832x

From: Christophe Leroy <hidden>
Date: 2020-08-12 12:06:10
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: linux for powerpc (32-bit and 64-bit), the rest · Maintainers: Madhavan Srinivasan, Linus Torvalds

The e300c2 core which is embedded in mpc832x CPU doesn't have
an FPU.

Make it possible to not select CONFIG_PPC_FPU when building a
kernel dedicated to that target.
