Ugh, I thought this was just the cell build, didn't realize it hit more.

Ok, I've dropped the patch from all queues. Odd that it only causes
problems on 4.19.y :(

I don't know what you dropped, but v4.19.14 fails to build with
the same error. Did you drop it after the release ?

No, I should have dropped it before the release. Let me go see what I
messed up...

I dropped e1c3743e1a20 ("powerpc/tm: Set MSR[TS] just prior to recheckpoint")
from the stable trees, which is what I was told was the commit that was
causing the problems by Christoph and Breno (on to: now).

Was that not the offending commit? If so, what one was?

$ git describe
v4.19.14
groeck@server:~/src/linux-stable$ git log --oneline v4.19.13.. arch/powerpc/
a9935a127688 powerpc/tm: Unset MSR[TS] if not recheckpointing
34fc09193486 powerpc/fsl: Fix spectre_v2 mitigations reporting
groeck@server:~/src/linux-stable$

a9935a127688 is the culprit.
