Re: [PATCH] arm64: Kconfig.platforms: remove useless select for ARCH_K3

[Guillaume La Roque <glaroque@baylibre.com>]

Hi Nishanth,

if i remove MAILBOX it's  enabled by some  non TI drivers and/or 
ARCH_XXX which have it in deps so all TI drivers are still enabled 
properly but not sure it's safe.
and PM_GENERIC_DOMAINS look OK to remove it.

if i try a defconfig based on android defconfig (more simple than 
default defconfig) with only ARCH_K3 enabled i need to set 
CONFIG_MAILBOX flag to still have same TI drivers enabled.
let me know what you want to do.

Guillaume
