[PATCH 4/5] powerpc/tau: Check processor type before enabling TAU interrupt

Sat Sep 5 09:02:20 AEST 2020


According to Freescale's documentation, MPC74XX processors have an
erratum that prevents the TAU interrupt from working, so don't try to
use it when running on those processors.

Fixes: 1da177e4c3f41 ("Linux-2.6.12-rc2")
