Subject: [PATCH 2/2] powerpc: remove old code for binutils < 2.25
Date:   Wed, 31 Aug 2022 04:08:11 +0900
Message-Id: <20220830190811.323760-2-masahiroy@kernel.org>
In-Reply-To: <20220830190811.323760-1-masahiroy@kernel.org>

Precedence: bulk

The minimum supported version of binutils has been raised to 2.25.1.
Drop the old code.

PPC is the last user of ld-ifversion. With all the callers removed,
the macro definition in scripts/Makefile.compiler can go away.
