In the old days it was called TI_CPU, was changed by commit f7354ccac844 ("powerpc/32: Remove CURRENT_THREAD_INFO and rename TI_CPU") after commit ed1cd6deb013 ("powerpc: Activate CONFIG_THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK")
I don't have a strong opinion about it but we have:
$ git grep thread_info arch/powerpc/kernel/asm-offsets.c arch/powerpc/kernel/asm-offsets.c:#include <asm/thread_info.h> arch/powerpc/kernel/asm-offsets.c: OFFSET(TI_livepatch_sp, thread_info, livepatch_sp); arch/powerpc/kernel/asm-offsets.c: OFFSET(TI_LOCAL_FLAGS, thread_info, local_flags); arch/powerpc/kernel/asm-offsets.c: offsetof(struct task_struct, thread_info));
