I've applied this patch, after taking into account Romain's comment,
and also after renaming BR2_ARM_INSTRUCTIONS_ARM_CHOICE to
BR2_ARM_INSTRUCTIONS_ARM and removing the hidden option
BR2_ARM_INSTRUCTIONS_ARM outside the choice.

From the commit log:

[Thomas:
  - Remove the dependency in the choice between ARM/Thumb/Thumb-2,
    because basically the choice is now always visible.
  - Replace the BR2_ARM_INSTRUCTIONS_ARM_CHOICE choice option directly
    by BR2_ARM_INSTRUCTIONS_ARM, instead of having this blind option
    defined separately. This means the choice is now always visible,
    even when only the ARM instruction set is supported.]


Thanks!

Thomas
