powerpc qemu runs fail with the current upstream kernel.
Bisect points to commit 52d996270032 ("powerpc: kill PPC_OF").
Unfortunately, that commit did not remove all instances of PPC_OF.
Practical impact is that the serial driver used by powerpc qemu
targets is no longer built into the test kernel.

Sorry for the break. This is a dependency issue. The patch 213dce3c17a6
("tty: kconfig: remove the superfluous dependency on PPC_OF") has already
been merged into tty-next, but still not propagate to upstream yet. I failed
to reminder Michael of this when the pulling request is sent to Linus.


Guess that explains why I don't see the breakage in linux-next.

This kind of problem seems to be happening a lot in this commit window.

Is there a new mechanism in place which requires splitting such series
into multiple parts ? Personally I preferred the "old" style, where
the entire series would have been handled by one maintainer, with Acks
from the others.
