Hi Simon, Magnus,
When Renesas ARM multi-platform support was conceived in commit
efacfce5f8a52345 ("ARM: shmobile: Introduce ARCH_SHMOBILE_MULTI"),
support for the ARM Cortex-A9 Snoop Control Unit and the Timer and
Watchdog Unit was enabled unconditionally.
However, only some Renesas multicore Cortex-A9 SoCs have these units,
and in the modern world, the share of Cortex-A9 SoCs is decreasing.
Hence only enable support for the SCU and TWD when building a kernel
that includes support for SoCs that have these units.
Thanks!
