Ping? We have been applying this in our CI since it was sent, it would be nice to have this upstream soon so it can start filtering through the stable trees.

arch/powerpc/lib/xor_vmx.o is built with '-msoft-float' (from the main powerpc Makefile) and '-maltivec' (from its CFLAGS), which causes an error when building with clang after a recent change in main:
error: option '-msoft-float' cannot be specified with '-maltivec' make[6]: *** [scripts/Makefile.build:243: arch/powerpc/lib/xor_vmx.o] Error 1
Explicitly add '-mhard-float' before '-maltivec' in xor_vmx.o's CFLAGS to override the previous inclusion of '-msoft-float' (as the last option wins), which matches how other areas of the kernel use '-maltivec', such as AMDGPU.
