Several users have tried to only rely on binderfs to provide binder devices
and set CONFIG_ANDROID_BINDER_DEVICES="" empty. This is a great use-case of
binderfs and one that was always intended to work. However, this is
currently not possible since setting CONFIG_ANDROID_BINDER_DEVICES="" emtpy
will simply panic the kernel:

There is no binderfs on 4.20, so this patch is not needed on anything
older than 5.0.

Please drop it from your queues.

Heh, I knew binder was there for a while, didn't know binderfs is
something new. Now dropped, thanks!
