I've done a quick check with an allnoconfig-like test and it seems that
CONFIG_OF is weighing in at around 86K here, with all the other options
it pulls in, comparing an allnoconfig kernel for DS-323 with one that
has CONFIG_OF enabled as well.

The multiplatform kernel also enables CONFIG_OF unconditionally, but is
otherwise a little smaller than the mach-orion5x based one:

   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
 942144   64112   17648 1023904   f9fa0 build/tmp/vmlinux-orion-allno
1027516   54052   20824 1102392  10d238 build/tmp/vmlinux-multi-plus-orion
1025320   66020   18744 1110084  10f044 build/tmp/vmlinux-orion-plus-of

The diff below shows all the differences between orion-allno and
multi-plus-orion.
