Re: [PATCH] [RESEND] score: remove unused CPU_SCORE7 Kconfig parameter

[Lennox Wu]

Actually, people I don't want to brother are guys intergrate all
patches on the maillist.
There are too many patches whaic are waiting they to process.
I will check the development progress of the another Score and
consider if we should remove the config.
Thanks for your suggestion.

Best,
Lennox
