Subject: [PATCH 07/14] ARM: Drop tautological ld.lld conditions from ARCH_MULTI_V4{,T}
Date: Tue, 28 Apr 2026 22:59:13 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260428-bump-minimum-supported-llvm-version-to-17-v1-7-81d9b2e8ee75@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 '!ld.lld || ld.lld >= 16' dependency of
CONFIG_ARCH_MULTI_V4{,T} is always true, so tit can be removed from both
symbols.
