Fwd: [PATCH] arch/arm/mm/proc-arm925.S: remove dead #ifdef block

[Valentin Rothberg]

Hi Russell,

I saw the patch below has made its way into today's linux-next tree.
Last week I sent a few patches fixing similar issues in arm, but I was
not sure if you are interested in such things to get fixed.  Are you
interested?  Another question: Do you have means to notify the sender
when you apply a patch?  Besides having fun doing such things, I also
have some research interest in it and I archive Kconfig related
emails; a notification mail would make it easier.

Kind regards,
 Valentin

The block could never be compiled;  CPU_ICACHE_STREAMING_DISABLE has not
been defined in Kconfig since the very first Git commit.  Hence, we can
safely remove the entire block.

There is a similar looking option 'CPU_ICACHE_DISABLE'.  However, I
decided to remove the entire block since it could not be compiled for
such a long time.

I detected this issue with scripts/checkkconfigsymbols.py
