From 4eeef098b43242ed145c83fba9989d586d707589 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christophe Leroy Date: Wed, 20 Jan 2021 07:49:14 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] powerpc/44x: Remove STDBINUTILS kconfig option STDBINUTILS is just a toggle to allow 256k page size to appear in the possible page sizes list for the 44x. Make 256k page size option appear all the time with an explicit warning about binutils, and remove this unnecessary STDBINUTILS config option.
