This series of patches improves th powerpc kbuild system. The motivation was to to be compatible with the new Kconfig scripting language that Yamada-san has proposed here: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/masahiroy/linux-kbuild.git/?h=kconfig-shell-v3 I have tested on top of that tree and powerpc now builds there. I think patches 1-3 are improvements to the build system even before kconfig-shell, so they could be merged ahead of it. Patch 4 actually takes advatage of a new feature of the kconfig-shell changes to improve powerpc kconfig, so that should rather be merged with the kbuild tree with an ack from powerpc. Yamada-san are you planning to merge kconfig-shell for 4.17?
