Subject: [PATCH u-boot] powerpc/mpc85xx: Disable AltiVec and VSX instructions
Date: Mon, 19 Dec 2022 22:46:22 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20221219214622.20929-1-pali@kernel.org> (raw)

All vector instructions on powerpc mpc85xx must not be used because U-Boot
does not enable them. Usage cause random crashes. SPE vector instructions
are already disabled by compiler flags, so disable also AltiVec and VSX
vector instructions.

Linux kernel disables AltiVec and VSX instructions too.
