[PATCH v2] powerpc: Avoid circular dependency with zImage.%

[PATCH v2] powerpc: Avoid circular dependency with zImage.%

[Michal Marek]

The rule to create the final images uses a zImage.% pattern.
Unfortunately, this also matches the names of the zImage.*.lds linker
scripts, which appear as a dependency of the final images. This somehow
worked when $(srctree) used to be an absolute path, but now the pattern
matches too much. List only the images from $(image-y) as the target of
the rule, to avoid the circular dependency.

v2:
  - Filter out duplicates in the target list
  - fix the platform argument to cmd_wrap

Thanks. In kbuild.git it goes.
