We have configured (kernel config):

# CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP is not set
CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE=y

Link: 
https://github.com/chzigotzky/kernels/blob/main/configs/x5000_defconfig

Compiling error:

arch/powerpc/platforms/85xx/smp.c: In function 'mpc85xx_smp_kexec_cpu_down':
arch/powerpc/platforms/85xx/smp.c:401:13: error: 'crashing_cpu' 
undeclared (first use in this function); did you mean 'crash_save_cpu'?
   401 |  if (cpu == crashing_cpu && cpu_thread_in_core(cpu) != 0) {
       |             ^~~~~~~~~~~~
       |             crash_save_cpu

identifier is reported only once for each function it appears in

-----------------

PowerPC updates 6.9-2:

#ifdef CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE

-extern int crashing_cpu;

-----------------

+#if defined(CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP)
...
+extern int crashing_cpu;

+#ifdef CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP
  /* This keeps a track of which one is the crashing cpu. */
  int crashing_cpu = -1;
  #endif
