BTW it seems a bigger version of the same issue affects my J2 support
patch series: CONFIG_CPU_J2 enables code that performs an early FDT
scan to obtain cache information, so it needs to select OF and
OF_FLATTREE to avoid build errors. Eventually none of this will matter
once we drop legacy support and make it so SUPERH implies OF and
OF_EARLY_FLATTREE.
