The G5 defconfig is clearly intended for the G5 Powermac

windfarm drivers, or the machine will overheat a short

I wonder why this never gets applied. Am I doing something wrong?
Is the patch stupid? No-one cares?

Sorry it didn't get picked up.

I don't have any G5s anymore, but the ones I did have used the other windfarm drivers so I never hit this.

You might be the last person on earth booting Linux on those :)
