[Buildroot] [PATCH 4/4] linux: config.in: add comment for Arm Cortex-M

[Christophe PRIOUZEAU]

When binutils > 2.28 are selected on Arm Cortex-M cpu,
linux kernel does not boot due to a new implementation
of 'adr pseudo instruction' on binutils.

 The logic is inverted here: it should be

	depends on BR2_ARMV7M
	depends on !BR2_BINUTILS_VERSION_2_28_X

 I guess you didn't test it?

Sorry, I have made the test with the patch on binutils/config.in, and I have inverted the value.
It's my fault.

So this comment will never appear on ARMv7M, which is exactly the
opposite of what we want. Did you test this ? Did you verify that the
comment actually appears when expected ?

Ok, I have made a bad copy/paste from the proposition of Arnoult and is
why the depends of !BR2_ARMV7M are always true (it's not defined), the 
correct
tag are "BR2_ARM_CPU_ARMV7M".
Sorry, I started to send a new series.

This was indeed one problem. But the other problem is that the
condition is inverted, it should be:

	depends on <we are on ARMv7M>

and not:

	depends on !<we are on ARMv7M>

Indeed, we want the comment to be visible when we are on ARMv7M, and
invisible in all other cases.

Please test your change by running menuconfig and making sure that the
comment is visible vs. invisible as expected.

Thanks!

Thomas
