PVR value of 0x0F000006 means we are arch v3.1 compliant (i.e.
POWER10). This is used by phyp and kvm when booting as a pseries guest
to detect the presence of new P10 features and to enable the
appropriate hwcap and facility bits.

The latest Xilinx design tools called ISE and EDK has been released in
October 2013. New tool doesn't support any PPC405/PPC440 new designs.
These platforms are no longer supported and tested.

PowerPC 405/440 port is orphan from 2013 by
commit cdeb89943bfc ("MAINTAINERS: Fix incorrect status tag") and
commit 19624236cce1 ("MAINTAINERS: Update Grant's email address and maintainership")
that's why it is time to remove the support fot these platforms.

Before checking for cpu_type == NULL, this same copy happens, so doing
it here will just write the same value to the t-&gt;oprofile_type
again.

Remove the repeated copy, as it is unnecessary.

<title>powerpc: fix hardware PMU exception bug on PowerVM compatibility mode systems</title>

<content type='text'>
PowerVM systems running compatibility mode on a few Power8 revisions are
still vulnerable to the hardware defect that loses PMU exceptions arriving
prior to a context switch.

The software fix for this issue is enabled through the CPU_FTR_PMAO_BUG
cpu_feature bit, nevertheless this bit also needs to be set for PowerVM
compatibility mode systems.
