powerpc/lib: fix unsafe register handling in wait_ticks If watchdog is enabled, the arch/powerpc/lib/ticks.S::wait_ticks() function calls the function specified by the WATCHDOG_RESET macro. The wait_ticks function depends on the registers r0, r6 and r7 being preserved however that is not guaranteed, e.g. if the reset function is a C function this will probably overwrite r0 and cause an endless loop. The following patch changes to using r14+r15 instead of r6+r7 (to resemble what would have been generated by a C compiler) and saves all necessary registers on the stack. The patch has been tested on a custom MPC5125 based machine using the 512x powerpc architecture.
