Subject: [PATCH] arc: Removed local initramfs source file from axs101 configuration.

Hi guys,
I don't think maintaining that flag this in the kernel is correct... the kernel simply doesn't compile out of the box.
If you grep for CONFIG_INITRAMFS_SOURCE, ARC is the only architecture that uses that kernel flag by default pointing to an external directory.
I don't think this is proper to have it like this by default from the kernel point of view.
Regards,
