    powerpc: Fix defconfig choice logic when cross compiling · af5cd05d
    Michael Ellerman authored
    Our logic for choosing defconfig doesn't work well in some situations.
    
    For example if you're on a ppc64le machine but you specify a non-empty
    CROSS_COMPILE, in order to use a non-default toolchain, then defconfig
    will give you ppc64_defconfig (big endian):
    
      $ make CROSS_COMPILE=~/toolchains/gcc-8/bin/powerpc-linux- defconfig
      *** Default configuration is based on 'ppc64_defconfig'
    
    This is because we assume that CROSS_COMPILE being set means we
    can't be on a ppc machine and rather than checking we just default to
    ppc64_defconfig.
    
    We should just ignore CROSS_COMPILE, instead check the machine with
    uname and if it's one of ppc, ppc64 or ppc64le then use that
    defconfig. If it's none of those then we fall back to ppc64_defconfig.
