I think you missed commit db87a7199229 ("powerpc/bug: Remove specific 
powerpc BUG_ON() and WARN_ON() on PPC32")

The code is enclosed in a #ifdef CONFIG_PPC64, it is not used for PPC32:

/arch/powerpc/include/asm/bug.h
   99  #ifdef CONFIG_PPC64
  100  #define BUG_ON(x) do {						\
...
  109  #define WARN_ON(x) ({						\
...
  132  #define HAVE_ARCH_BUG_ON
  133  #define HAVE_ARCH_WARN_ON
  134  #endif
