[RFC] ARM: add multi_v7_lpae_defconfig

From: Nicolas Saenz Julienne
Date: Fri Jan 10 2020 - 12:34:51 EST


The only missing configuration option preventing us from using
multi_v7_defconfig with the RPi4 is ARM_LPAE. It's needed as the PCIe
controller found on the SoC depends on 64bit addressing, yet can't be
included as not all v7 boards support LPAE.

Introduce multi_v7_lpae_defconfig, built off multi_v7_defconfig, which will
avoid us having to duplicate and maintain multiple similar configurations.

Note that merge_into_defconfig was taken from arch/powerpc/Makefile.
