Subject: [PATCH v2 2/7] powerpc: Remove CONFIG_PPC601_SYNC_FIX
Date: Tue, 29 Sep 2020 06:09:18 +0000 (UTC)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <55b46bff16705b1ae7bf0a60ccd522b1010ebf75.1601359702.git.christophe.leroy@csgroup.eu> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <27951fa6c9a8f80724d1bc81a6117ac32343a55d.1601359702.git.christophe.leroy@csgroup.eu>

This config option isn't in any defconfig.

The very first versions of Powerpc 601 have a bug which
requires additional sync before and/or after some instructions.

This was more than 25 years ago and time has come to retire
those buggy versions of the 601 from the kernel.
