In current mainline U-Boot, such a patch is not needed (which is just a friendly version of saying it does not make sense :-), because ARCH gets loaded from include/config.mk after running "make <board>_config".

In which case, we should probably add "override" to the place where it is set, so as to avoid interference from any ARCH variable that might be set (we could then remove the powerpc->ppc bit).
