Yep I tested my patch on our POWER9 ppc64le based machine and verified it 
allowed me to build the latest OpenBMC distro. I submitted this patch because 
our CI process that utilizes a ppc64le stopped working when we picked up the 
latest oe-core in OpenBMC.

I poked around a bit and when I look at a POWER server that not running in 
little endian mode, I don't actually see ppc64 or powerpc64 from Mingli patch. 
As far as I can tell it's just powerpc (uname -p). So I don't have a lot vested 
in the non-ppc64le portion. If Mingli can confirm it tested fine for their 
config then I'm good if we just merge both patches, otherwise please merge mine 
at least :)
