Exynos4 supports both DT as well as non-DT platforms. Hence it is
appropriate to have DT as a user selectable option in Exynos4 case.

Even this config provides a user selectable DT option for Exynos5.
When there is no possibility of having a non-DT platform for Exynos5
(atleast as of now), I do not see the need to provide a user
selectable option (it also leads to build errors with played around
with as mentioned in my patch) for DT for Exynos5 as it _has_ to be
enabled if one needs to build the kernel for Exynos5 machines.
