Subject: ARM: pxa: remove use of symbol_get()
From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@xxxxxxxx>
commit 0faa29c4207e6e29cfc81b427df60e326c37083a upstream.
The spitz board file uses the obscure symbol_get() function
to optionally call a function from sharpsl_pm.c if that is
built. However, the two files are always built together
these days, and have been for a long time, so this can
be changed to a normal function call.
