This patch makes below changes to powerpc-utils package:
- Update to latest upstream version (v1.3.1)
- Update License (from CPL to GPLv2)
- Update source link (from SF to github)
- Disable librtas by default
- Finally make necessary adjustment to compile the source
(run autogen.sh before ./configure as we don't have configure in new tarball).
RTAS:
This package contains few tools (like nvram, ppc64_cpu, etc) which are not
dependent on RTAS support. Traditionally we always had RTAS support (at least
on IBM Power system). But now a days we do have environments like PowerNV host
where we do not have RTAS support. Instead we use OPAL for runtime service [1].
Hence lets disable RTAS by default. If someone wants to build powerpc-utils
with RTAS they can enable it.

This adds a dependency on librtas and provides the following

additional features at the cost of increasing the installed

|
package size from about 0.5MB to about 2MB:

ppc64_cpu --run-mode, uesensor, set_poweron_time, drmgr,

rtas_event_decode, sys_ident.
