Unfortunately, that commit did not remove all instances of PPC_OF. Practical impact is that the serial driver used by powerpc qemu targets is no longer built into the test kernel.Sorry for the break. This is a dependency issue. The patch 213dce3c17a6 ("tty: kconfig: remove the superfluous dependency on PPC_OF") has already been merged into tty-next, but still not propagate to upstream yet. I failed to reminder Michael of this when the pulling request is sent to Linus.
Guess that explains why I don't see the breakage in linux-next. This kind of problem seems to be happening a lot in this commit window. Is there a new mechanism in place which requires splitting such series into multiple parts ? Personally I preferred the "old" style, where the entire series would have been handled by one maintainer, with Acks from the others.
