Yes, I have reproduced it now.

Well, it's clearly a false positive, since none of the options PM_SLEEP_SMP
depends on is set in your .config.  Also, it seems to be ppc-specific (for
example, if I change the architecture to powerpc, the warning doesn't show up).

The only problem I see here is that the warning in fact should not be printed,
but I don't know how to make the build system stop printing it.

Greetings,
Rafael
