[PATCH] ARM: Don't let ARMv5 platforms select USE_OF

[PATCH] ARM: Don't let ARMv5 platforms select USE_OF

[Uwe Kleine-König (The Capable Hub)]

USE_OF is already selected by ARM (unless ARCH_FOOTBRIDGE || ARCH_RPC ||
ARCH_SA1100; these all conflict with ARCH_MULTI_V5). So there is no need
for an explicit select and it can be dropped.

Hello,

If I should split this patch by mach-*, tell me, but I think it's simple
enough and these architectures don't move much, so getting this in via
armsoc should be fine?!

Best regards
Uwe

Hi Uwe,

I'd prefer it as a combined patch, but either way is fine with me.

Please send this to soc@lists.linux.dev in a few days with any
Acks you have received by then.
