3.16.60-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Leonard Crestez leonard.crestez@nxp.com
commit 6aaf49b495b446ff6eec0ac983f781ca0dc56a73 upstream.
The decision to rebuild .S_shipped is made based on the relative timestamps of .S_shipped and .pl files but git makes this essentially random. This means that the perl script might run anyway (usually at most once per checkout), defeating the whole purpose of _shipped.
Fix by skipping the rule unless explicit make variables are provided: REGENERATE_ARM_CRYPTO or REGENERATE_ARM64_CRYPTO.
This can produce nasty occasional build failures downstream, for example for toolchains with broken perl. The solution is minimally intrusive to make it easier to push into stable.
