I don't know if it still works, but there used to be support for
ADB on CHRP hardware. I don't have any such hardware to check, so
someone else will have to comment on that. This is one reason I
suggested moving ADB out of drivers/macintosh, but at the time
there was disagreement on that and I never finished the patch I
was work on anyway.

Perhaps it should be (PPC_PMAC || PPC_CHRP || MAC) instead as a
simple fix to prevent it from building on prep.

Mac devices on PREP

Hi folks

Currently, the whole bunch of macintosh devices (drivers/macintosh) are
listed to be available on all ppc variants. Some of them does not build
for prep.

The attached patch restricts the whole bunch to PPC_PMAC. I'm not sure
if this is the correct fix.

I don't know what the situation is now, but I'm almost certain that,
once upon a time it was possible to build a kernel that would boot 
on Mac, CHRP and PReP. To be precise, it was the same kernel image
included in different boot wrappers.
