Christophe Leroy 8044f035b0 powerpc/32: Don't always pass -mcpu=powerpc to the compiler 
[ Upstream commit 446cda1b21 ]

Since commit 4bf4f42a2f ("powerpc/kbuild: Set default generic
machine type for 32-bit compile"), when building a 32 bits kernel
with a bi-arch version of GCC, or when building a book3s/32 kernel,
the option -mcpu=powerpc is passed to GCC at all time, relying on it
being eventually overriden by a subsequent -mcpu=xxxx.

But when building the same kernel with a 32 bits only version of GCC,
that is not done, relying on gcc being built with the expected default
CPU.

This logic has two problems. First, it is a bit fragile to rely on
whether the GCC version is bi-arch or not, because today we can have
bi-arch versions of GCC configured with a 32 bits default. Second,
there are some versions of GCC which don't support -mcpu=powerpc,
for instance for e500 SPE-only versions.

So, stop relying on this approximative logic and allow the user to
decide whether he/she wants to use the toolchain's default CPU or if
he/she wants to set one, and allow only possible CPUs based on the
selected target.

README 

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.
