[PATCH] libubootenv: Disable for ppc/ppc64 qemu machines

[Khem Raj]

This recipe depends on u-boot and u-boot is not available for
qemuppc/qemuppc64 and there is no defconfig available either

Note that qemu-ppce500_defconfig would be a good target to use for ppc
for U-Boot, but not ppc64 and wouldn't cover the mac99 machine type OE
uses anyhow.

There was an ongoing discussion about whether a patch triggering some of these 
issues should be reverted or not. I was hoping we'd figure that issue out...

Cheers,

It would be far from what we emulate though as qemuppc machine

Same here

We don’t use uboot
On these machines so I don’t see any harm in disabling it here do you ?

Sadly the revert does not help here this patch is still needed

I guess I only high-level wonder why the target in OE is an old powermac
and not the e500 class machines.  I mean it could be related to how the
qemu target in U-Boot wasn't that useful for a while, a long while back.
So no, I don't object to this specific change, but I do wonder why OE
targets what it targets rather than (what I understand anyhow to be) the
common use case of qemu for ppc32 systems.  I could just be mistaken
there, however.

BookE implementation in Qemu was never as robust to emulate full system in
past that’s where we use traditional ppc target here
