Could you also remove the 'config GENERIC_CSUM' item in

All the separate declarations go away later in this series.


I saw, but the purpose of the later patch is to replace arch defined GENERIC_CSUM by a common one that arches select. For the powerpc you are not in that case as the powerpc does not select GENERIC_CSUM.

So I really believe that all stale bits of remaining GENERIC_CSUM in powerpc should go away as a single dedicated patch, as a fix of commit d4fde568a34a ("powerpc/64: Use optimized checksum routines on little-endian")

Regarding the #ifdef __KERNEL__ , I think we should do a wide cleanup in arch/powerpc/include/asm, not only asm/checksum.h
