Hi,

This prompt that appears in menuconfig is a bit unfriendly : it does not 
say who needs the host-python3, and it does not appear to be in the 
at91bootstrap3 -related options.
It is at the same indentation level as the other bootloaders, like 
Barebox, Grub, etc. So I think it's misleading and should be aligned 
with the other At91bootstrap options
