[PATCH] powerpc/boot: Remove bogus reference to lilo

From: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au>
Date: 2024-10-09 05:38:14
Subsystem: linux for powerpc (32-bit and 64-bit), the rest · Maintainers: Madhavan Srinivasan, Linus Torvalds

The help text refers to lilo, but the install script does not run lilo
and never has. The reference to lilo seems to have come originally from
arch/ppc/Makefile, but it was not true there either.

Remove it.
