Nathan Chancellor 31f48f1626 powerpc: Remove linker flag from KBUILD_AFLAGS
When clang's -Qunused-arguments is dropped from KBUILD_CPPFLAGS, it
points out that KBUILD_AFLAGS contains a linker flag, which will be
unused:

  clang: error: -Wl,-a32: 'linker' input unused [-Werror,-Wunused-command-line-argument]

This was likely supposed to be '-Wa,-a$(BITS)'. However, this change is
unnecessary, as all supported versions of clang and gcc will pass '-a64'
or '-a32' to GNU as based on the value of '-m'; the behavior of the
latest stable release of the oldest supported major version of each
compiler is shown below and each compiler's latest release exhibits the
same behavior (GCC 12.2.0 and Clang 15.0.6).

  $ powerpc64-linux-gcc --version | head -1
  powerpc64-linux-gcc (GCC) 5.5.0

  $ powerpc64-linux-gcc -m64 -### -x assembler-with-cpp -c -o /dev/null /dev/null &| grep 'as '
  .../as -a64 -mppc64 -many -mbig -o /dev/null /tmp/cctwuBzZ.s

  $ powerpc64-linux-gcc -m32 -### -x assembler-with-cpp -c -o /dev/null /dev/null &| grep 'as '
  .../as -a32 -mppc -many -mbig -o /dev/null /tmp/ccaZP4mF.sg

  $ clang --version | head -1
  Ubuntu clang version 11.1.0-++20211011094159+1fdec59bffc1-1~exp1~20211011214622.5

  $ clang --target=powerpc64-linux-gnu -fno-integrated-as -m64 -### \
    -x assembler-with-cpp -c -o /dev/null /dev/null &| grep gnu-as
   "/usr/bin/powerpc64-linux-gnu-as" "-a64" "-mppc64" "-many" "-o" "/dev/null" "/tmp/null-80267c.s"

  $ clang --target=powerpc64-linux-gnu -fno-integrated-as -m64 -### \
    -x assembler-with-cpp -c -o /dev/null /dev/null &| grep gnu-as
   "/usr/bin/powerpc64-linux-gnu-as" "-a32" "-mppc" "-many" "-o" "/dev/null" "/tmp/null-ab8f8d.s"

Remove this flag altogether to avoid future issues.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
