- allow the selection of a possible choice in the "Floating point

BR2_ARM_FPU_NEON_FP_ARMV8.
- specify the -mfpu values for BR2_ARM_FPU_FP_ARMV8 and

doesn't exist on ARM64, instead -mcpu modifiers are used, so they

Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni <thomas.petazzoni@free-electrons.com>
The floating point strategy currently depends on EABI || EABIHF. The
reason was that, wayback when we also supported OABI, we only exposed FP
for EABI or EABIHF, and hide it for OABI, which did not support FP.
It's been a while now that we do not support OABI, but the dependency
stuck all along.
Remove it as it is no longer needed, and is always true.
However, the choice is empty for AArch64, as we still have no entry for
their floating point strategy yet.

The 64 bits ARM processors are capable of running 32 bits ARM code, and
some platforms are indeed using this capability. Due to this, if we were
to keep the separation between Config.in.aarch64 and Config.in.arm, we
would have to duplicate the definition of all 64-bits capable ARM cores
into both files.
Instead of going down this route, let's take the same route as the x86
one: a single Config.in.x86 file, used for both x86 32 bits and x86 64
bits, with the appropriate logic to only show the relevant cores
depending on which architecture is selected.
In order to do this, we:
- Make the "ARM instruction set" choice only visible on ARM 32 bits,
since we currently don't support ARM vs. Thumb on AArch64.
- Add the relevant values for the BR2_ARCH option.
- Add the relevant values for the BR2_ENDIAN option.
- Make the "aapcs-linux" BR2_GCC_TARGET_ABI value only used on ARM 32
bits, since this ABI doesn't mean anything on AArch64.
- Make the BR2_GCC_TARGET_FPU option depends on ARM 32 bits, since
there is no -mfpu option on AArch64.

Buildroot, since -mthumb on ARMv4/v5 means original Thumb, while
-mthumb on ARMv7 means Thumb 2. However, for clarity, it makes sense
to have two separate options. But in this case, Cortex-M3 should not

Currently, the VFP selection for ARM is a little bit muddy:
- some CPUs definitely do not have a VFP or NEON,
- some CPUs definitely do have a VFP or NEON,
- some CPUs may have a VFP or NEON.
However, we currently conflate the availability of the VFP/NEON with the
possibility to use them. Even is the user chooses a floating point
strategy with a 'lower' solution (i.e. VFPv2 when a VFPv3 exists, or not
using NEON when the CPU has it), some packages are still using the
CPU-defined HW availaibility rather thean the usr's selection.
Furthermore, for CPU that may have a VFP/NEON, there is no way for the
user to actually specify that the HW is indeed available; the user can
only specify the floating point strategy. This means that some packages
or some package versions, like nodejs for example, can not be properly
selected on some CPU cores, like Cortex-A9 which only may have a VFP.
Like we have an option to enable an optional NEON unit, add a similar
option to enable an optional VFP unit.

Stating whether to use the NEON extensions when it is optional in the
CPU really is completing the definition of the CPU we've just selected.
Move the ENABLE_NEON option just after the choice of the CPU variant,

This will make sense in a moment, when we introduce a similar option for
