There are two CONFIG_POWERPC64_CPU entries in the "CPU selection"
choice block.
I guess the intent is to display a different prompt depending on
CPU_LITTLE_ENDIAN: "Generic (POWER5 and PowerPC 970 and above)" for big
endian, and "Generic (POWER8 and above)" for little endian.
I stumbled on this tricky use case, and worked around it on Kconfig with
commit 4d46b5b623 ("kconfig: fix infinite loop in sym_calc_choice()").
However, I doubt that supporting multiple entries with the same symbol
in a choice block is worth the complexity - this is the only such case
in the kernel tree.
This commit merges the two entries. Once this cleanup is accepted in
the powerpc subsystem, I will proceed to refactor the Kconfig parser.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
