I checked that all flavours of i.MX SoCs are under multiplatform build.
FWIW only 1 iMX31 board has DT support and 10 of them use platform
data, and I'd like to change the ratio. So it would be proper to
remove the set CONFIG_OF guard.

But what is significantly more important is that i.MX31 RNGA should
be defined as compatible with i.MX21 RNGA, and it obligates me to send
v2 with the corrected compatible name, I'll make both changes.

Thanks Kim for attracting my attention to possible improvements.
