One more thing I have in my mind for a while is that will be good to
configure kernel build flags from DT and completely get rid of these
symbols.

XILINX_MICROBLAZE0_USE_MSR_INSTR
XILINX_MICROBLAZE0_USE_PCMP_INSTR
XILINX_MICROBLAZE0_USE_BARREL
XILINX_MICROBLAZE0_USE_DIV
XILINX_MICROBLAZE0_USE_HW_MUL
XILINX_MICROBLAZE0_USE_FPU

It means setup CPUFLAGS based on extracting that values from DT that it
all the time match the hardware.
It will also simplify all the CPUFLAGS logic which is in
arch/microblaze/Makefile.

Do you have any idea how this can be done?

(I have the same issue in U-Boot too)

Thanks,
Michal
