On 32-bit ARM, conversions between `double` and `long long` require
runtime library support. Since the kernel does not currently provide
this library support, the amdgpu driver fails to build:

  ERROR: modpost: "__aeabi_l2d" [drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/amdgpu.ko] undefined!
  ERROR: modpost: "__aeabi_d2ulz" [drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/amdgpu.ko] undefined!

As Arnd reports, there are likely no 32-bit ARM platforms which can use
the amdgpu driver anyway, due to lack of features like 64-bit
prefetchable BARs. Since amdgpu is currently the only real user of
ARCH_HAS_KERNEL_FPU_SUPPORT, drop support for this option instead of
bothering to implement the library functions.

This commit is not in mainline yet. Could we just drop the original
patch instead?

No, like I mentioned in the original thread, later patches in the series (for
example bbce5cac4f5a ("lib/raid6: use CC_FLAGS_FPU for NEON CFLAGS")) depend on
CC_FLAGS_FPU being defined for both arm and arm64.

arm can't select ARCH_HAS_KERNEL_FPU_SUPPORT because the contract of that option
is not fully implemented, but in my opinion it doesn't hurt to keep the part
that is implemented.

Regards,
Samuel

Fair enough. But that still doesn't mean we have to add the 'select
ARCH_HAS_KERNEL_FPU_SUPPORT' only to back it out again.
