[ Upstream commit 446cda1b21d9a6b3697fe399c6a3a00ff4a285f5 ]
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.
