[Buildroot] [PATCH 1/1] package/cpuinfo: don't support ARMv4

[Buildroot] [PATCH 1/1] package/cpuinfo: don't support ARMv4

[Thomas Perale via buildroot]

Building the package cpuinfo with an ARMv4 architecture would result in
the following error message:

```
/home/thomas/autobuild/instance-0/output-1/host/lib/gcc/arm-buildroot-linux-gnueabi/13.4.0/../../../../arm-buildroot-linux-gnueabi/bin/ld: CMakeFiles/cpuinfo.dir/src/init.c.o: in function `cpuinfo_initialize':
init.c:(.text+0x28): undefined reference to `cpuinfo_arm_linux_init'
/home/thomas/autobuild/instance-0/output-1/host/lib/gcc/arm-buildroot-linux-gnueabi/13.4.0/../../../../arm-buildroot-linux-gnueabi/bin/ld: libcpuinfo.so: hidden symbol `cpuinfo_arm_linux_init' isn't defined
/home/thomas/autobuild/instance-0/output-1/host/lib/gcc/arm-buildroot-linux-gnueabi/13.4.0/../../../../arm-buildroot-linux-gnueabi/bin/ld: final link failed: bad value
```

This can be reproduced with the following defconfig:

```
BR2_arm=y
BR2_fa526=y
BR2_PACKAGE_CPUINFO=y
```

As stated in the README of the upstream project [1] only ARMv5 and later
CPU are supported. This commit then exclude ARMv4 from the supported
architecture.
