commit ff7c76f66d8bad4e694c264c789249e1d3a8205d upstream.
When CONFIG_TARGET_CPU is specified then pass its value to the compiler
-mcpu option. This fixes following build error when building kernel with
powerpc e500 SPE capable cross compilers:
BOOTAS arch/powerpc/boot/crt0.o
powerpc-linux-gnuspe-gcc: error: unrecognized argument in option ‘-mcpu=powerpc’
powerpc-linux-gnuspe-gcc: note: valid arguments to ‘-mcpu=’ are: 8540 8548 native
make[1]: *** [arch/powerpc/boot/Makefile:231: arch/powerpc/boot/crt0.o] Error 1
Similar change was already introduced for the main powerpc Makefile in
commit 446cda1b21d9 ("powerpc/32: Don't always pass -mcpu=powerpc to the
compiler").
Fixes: 40a75584e526 ("powerpc/boot: Build wrapper for an appropriate CPU")
