    ARM: orion: add ATAGS dependencies · 0c00a537

    Most of the remaining arm board files in the kernel are unused and will be
    removed in early 2023 if no users step up.  So far I got no user replies
    about the orion5x and mv78xx0 machines, but these are still supported
    in the default kernel of the Debian 'armel' (armv5 softfloat) distro,
    and there is an active project on github that tries to keep some of
    these machines working, and Mauri Sandberg is working on a DT conversion
    for the D-Link DNS-323.
    
    It appears the Debian-on-Buffalo project has not got the Terastation WXL
    working in a few years, and the other mv78xx0 machines are just the
    reference designs, so I assume none of these have remaining users.
    
    For the Orion5x family, the same is probably true for its reference
    implementations (RD88Fxxxxx, DB88F281) and the machines with less than
    64MB of memory (WNR854T, WRT350N v2).
    
    The remaining nine machines are now scheduled to be kept for at least
    2023, hopefully to be replaced with DT based versions.
    
    The mv78xx0_defconfig file needs to enable CONFIG_UNUSED_BOARD_FILES
    to still build, while the other affected defconfig files lose the
    specific boards.
