I recently had to remove those pattern entries because they were plainly
wrong (thanks to those who didn't CC anyone in the ARM community with
those patches.)  EB110ATX != EBSA110.  See ce53895.

I had asked the maintainer of that platform to submit a patch to add the
correct entries.  Rather than having plainly bogus entries in there,
let's have either nothing or the right entries.
