4.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Joel Stanley <joel@xxxxxxxxx> commit e213574a449f7a57d4202c1869bbc7680b6b5521 upstream. We cannot build these files with clang as it does not allow altivec instructions in assembly when -msoft-float is passed.

This is a workaround until the issue is resolved in clang.
