The IPR driver has a routine to check whether it's running on certain CPU versions and if so whether the adapter is supported on that CPU. But none of the CPUs it checks for are supported by Linux anymore. The most recent CPU it checks for is Power4+ which was removed in commit 471d7ff8b51b ("powerpc/64s: Remove POWER4 support"). So drop the check. That makes the "testmode" module parameter unused, so remove it as well.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
