[PATCH v3] powerpc: remove dead 440SP code

From: Julian Braha

Date: Tue Sep 01 2026 - 13:08:10 EST


The 440SP config option can never be enabled, making all references to it
dead code.

The only board using CONFIG_440SP was IBM LUAN, which was commented out by
commit f65573314e4e ("[POWERPC] Re-organize Kconfig code for 4xx in
arch/powerpc") then removed by commit ff5f483f3091 ("powerpc: 4xx: remove
commented out Kconfig entries").

Let's remove support for 440SP, since nobody can be using it anyway.

This dead code was found by kconfirm, a static analysis tool for Kconfig.
