The difference is only what was already in defconfig thus which change
has impact on autoconf.h.

There is no upstream user of Nord GCC, thus I would not call it
important yet. I predict there will be such user, thus it is desired
just like every new SoC.

Much easier to test impact on autoconf and resulted image when changes
supposedly transparent are really separate.
