Dear stable team
Please backport the following patches.
Commits:
- 164af597ce945751e2dcd53d0a86e84203a6d117
("powerpc/Makefile: Use cflags-y/aflags-y for setting endian options")
- 4dc831aa88132f835cefe876aa0206977c4d7710
("powerpc: Fix compiling a BE kernel with a powerpc64le toolchain")
Stable tree targeted: 4.4 (applies cleanly)
Justification: This fixes the build when attempting to compile a BE
powerpc kernel using a bi-endian toolchain that defaults to LE, which is
a common setup.
I have tested that these patches apply cleanly and appear to rectify the
build failure on my machine.
Thanks,
