Public bug reported:

== SRU Justification ==
The 4.4.y stable backport c9fadf27006b for upstream commit 1bd6a1c4b80a ("powerpc/fadump: handle crash memory ranges array index overflow"), cherry-picked for Xenial as part of bug 1792419, introduces a build failure on ppc by returning a int in a void function. In 4.4.y register_fadump() returns void because 98b8cd7f7564 ("powerpc/fadump: Return error when fadump registration fails") hasn't been backported for this stable release.

== Fix ==
98b8cd7f7564 ("powerpc/fadump: Return error when fadump registration fails")

== Regression Potential ==
Low. The patch only handles the error return by some function and adds an additional error message. Limited to powerpc.

== Test Case ==
Compile the kernel for powerpc (tested with ppc64el).
