 Subject: [PATCH] fix the incorrect assembling for ppc wait mnemonic
 
+The wait mnemonic for ppc targets is incorrectly assembled into 0x7c00003c due
+to duplicated address definition with waitasec instruction. The issue causes
+kernel boot calltrace for ppc targets when wait instruction is executed.
