Aah, so you come to the same conclusion as me: keeping
BR2_ARM_INSTRUCTIONS_THUMB *and* BR2_ARM_INSTRUCTIONS_THUMB2 is
simpler :-)

The depends on !BR2_ARM_CPU_HAS_THUMB2 indeed needs to be added to
BR2_ARM_INSTRUCTIONS_THUMB if we change BR2_ARM_CPU_HAS_THUMB2 to make
it select BR2_ARM_CPU_HAS_THUMB. IMO, this is a rather useless change,
since in practice, you don't care that Thumb2 is a superset of Thumb:
you will only allow Thumb2 for Thumb2-capable cores, and only allow
Thumb for Thumb-capable cores.

But if you like it, I'm happy to do this useless change :-)
