Bug#1079755: linux: Please disable CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP on powerpc

[John Paul Adrian Glaubitz <glaubitz@physik.fu-berlin.de>]

Source: linux
Version: 6.10.6-1
Severity: normal
User: debian-powerpc@lists.debian.org
Usertags: powerpc

Hello,

in 75bc255a7444 [1] CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP was enabled by default for all architectures
which made the kernel unbootable on 32-bit PowerPC (powerpc) since crash dump kernels
cannot be booted from Open Firmware on this target [2].

Thus, please disable CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP on powerpc by default.

We may have to disable it on m68k and sh4 as well, but I haven't verified that yet.

Thanks,
Adrian
