[PATCH] u8500_defconfig: delete CONFIG_AB5500_CORE

[Paul Bolle]

Commit 72fb92200d6c31b9982c06784e4bcff2f5b7d8b6 ("mfd/ab5500: delete
AB5500 support") deleted the Kconfig symbol AB5500_CORE. Let's also
delete its last usage in u8500_defconfig.

0) Tested with "git grep" only.

1) There's also CONFIG_SND_SOC_UX500_AB5500 in
sound/soc/ux500/ux500_msp_dai.h. Was it related? (Note that there's no
Kconfig symbol SND_SOC_UX500_AB5500, so CONFIG_SND_SOC_UX500_AB5500 is
currently undefined.)

These usually go away over time, it'd be better to make a bigger defconfig
update also adding support for new drivers. Anyway this should go through
the ARM SoC tree if you want it anyway,

Maybe they should, but they don't, at least not always. See
https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/11/18/211 in which I suggested to delete
almost 2000 unused macros from over 400 defconfig files. (Jiri - added
to the CC - apparently never pulled these changes. I never reminded Jiri
to do so, so I'm to blame.)

That's fine with me. I hope to resend (sort of) shortly, with your ACK,
to the people in charge of the ARM SoC tree.

(Shortly became two weeks.)

I wonder what you actually meant with "the ARM SoC tree". MAINTAINERS
seems to have multiple entries related to ARM SoC.

The ARM SoC tree is a tree accumulating ARM sub architrecture
(plat-*, mach-*) before being sent to linux-next and then to
Torvalds.

They are reached on arm@kernel.org and send out info mails
like this:
http://lwn.net/Articles/485753/

Currently on the other side of that mail alias you find mostly
Arnd Bergmann and Olof Johansson.

ARM SoC people: care to send a MAINTAINERS patch to formalize
your statement of work?

Yours,
Linus Walleij
