Subject: [PATCH 09/14] riscv: Drop tautological condition from TOOLCHAIN_NEEDS_OLD_ISA_SPEC
Date: Tue, 28 Apr 2026 22:59:15 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260428-bump-minimum-supported-llvm-version-to-17-v1-9-81d9b2e8ee75@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260428-bump-minimum-supported-llvm-version-to-17-v1-0-81d9b2e8ee75@kernel.org>
Now that the minimum supported version of LLVM for building the kernel
has been raised to 17.0.1, the Clang dependency part of
CONFIG_TOOLCHAIN_NEEDS_OLD_ISA_SPEC is always false, so it can be
removed. Adjust the help text to remove mention of Clang < 17, as it is
irrelevant for the kernel after the minimum supported bump.
