So do we still need Fangrui's patch or is it moot?  I'm doing a scrub
of our bug tracker and this issue is still open:
https://github.com/ClangBuiltLinux/linux/issues/851
but it looks like all of our ppc LE targets are linking with LLD just fine
https://travis-ci.com/github/ClangBuiltLinux/continuous-integration/builds/169379039
though it sounds like
https://github.com/ClangBuiltLinux/linux/issues/774
may be a blocker?
Though I don't see Cristophe's
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/linuxppc-dev/patch/5f97f7c921ffc2113ada0f32924e409bccc8277a.1580399657.git.christophe.leroy@xxxxxx/
in mainline or -next.  Was the series not accepted?
