[PATCH 0/1] Fix 4.4-stable and 4.9-stable ppc build

[Kleber Sacilotto de Souza <kleber.souza@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Greg,

The backport of upstream commit 1bd6a1c4b80a ("powerpc/fadump: handle
crash memory ranges array index overflow") introduced a ppc build failure
on 4.4-stable and 4.9-stable when CONFIG_FA_DUMP is enabled:

arch/powerpc/kernel/fadump.c: In function ‘register_fadump’:
arch/powerpc/kernel/fadump.c:1015:10: error: ‘return’ with a value, in function returning void [-Werror]
   return ret;
          ^~~
arch/powerpc/kernel/fadump.c:1000:13: note: declared here
 static void register_fadump(void)
             ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I am suggesting to fix it by backporting 98b8cd7f7564 ("powerpc/fadump:
Return error when fadump registration fails"), which is an earlier
commit that (among other things) set the return of register_fadump() to
int and has little functional changes. It was applied upstream for
v4.13, so 4.14-stable and later are already fixed.

Thanks,
Kleber
