This partially reverts faa16bc404d72a5 ("lib: Use existing define with
polynomial").

The cleanup added a dependency on include/linux, which broke the PowerPC
boot wrapper/decompresser when KERNEL_XZ is enabled:

BOOTCC arch/powerpc/boot/decompress.o
In file included from
arch/powerpc/boot/../../../lib/decompress_unxz.c:233,
from arch/powerpc/boot/decompress.c:42:
arch/powerpc/boot/../../../lib/xz/xz_crc32.c:18:10: fatal error:
linux/crc32poly.h: No such file or directory
#include <linux/crc32poly.h>
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The powerpc decompressor is a hairy corner of the kernel. Even while
building
a 64-bit kernel it needs to build a 32-bit binary and therefore avoid
including
files from include/linux.

Fixes: faa16bc404d7 ("lib: Use existing define with polynomial")

We need to clean up the powerpc boot decompresser but that work will be
more involved than we would include in a late -rc. Please consider
merging this fix for 4.19. Thanks!

Maybe avoid capital letters ?

What about adding something like the following in xz_private.h instead:

#define CRC32_POLY_LE 0xedb88320

The problem is that it's pulling in linux/crc32poly.h. To support old
systems with a 32bit Open Firmware we boot wrapper we build the boot
wrapper as a 32bit ELF even for a 64 bit kernel. The headers generated
by Kbuild are only valid for the 64bit kernel so we have to avoid
pulling them into the boot wrapper.

Yes I understood, hence my proposal to redefine CRC32_POLY_LE in xz_private.h instead of including linux/crc32poly.h

It avoids modifying the C code.
