I saw, but the purpose of the later patch is to replace arch defined 
GENERIC_CSUM by a common one that arches select. For the powerpc you are 
not in that case as the powerpc does not select GENERIC_CSUM.

So I really believe that all stale bits of remaining GENERIC_CSUM in 
powerpc should go away as a single dedicated patch, as a fix of commit 
d4fde568a34a ("powerpc/64: Use optimized checksum routines on 
little-endian")

Regarding the #ifdef __KERNEL__ , I think we should do a wide cleanup in 
arch/powerpc/include/asm, not only asm/checksum.h
