[PATCH v1] ARM: do not select ARCH_VEXPRESS by default on ARCH_MULTI_V7

[Srinivas KANDAGATLA]

From: Srinivas Kandagatla <srinivas.kandagatla@st.com>

This patch removes ARCH_VEXPRESS selection as default when ARCH_MULTI_V7
is selected. ARCH_VEXPRESS should be selected from
mach-vexpress/Kconfig.

Without this patch, any multiplatform build will have ARCH_VEXPRESS
selected, as a result all the vexpress associated dtbs are build when we
make dtbs.

Fabio was looking at this some time ago:

He may comment on the relevant issues.

Cheers!

Pawe?

Thankyou for the patch, now I understand the reasoning.

There are reasons that this is done at the moment; Arnd has this under
control, and will remove this when stuff is ready to survive without
VEXPRESS enabled.
