Yann E. MORIN c2c0623bff linux: may fail to boot for binutils 2.29+ even without armv7m 
Commit f13477b (linux: config.in: add comment for Arm Cortex-M) added a
comment so that the user that the linux kernel may miscompile with
binutils 2.29+, when the target is an armv7m CPU.

However, the real trigger is a compilation in thumb2 mode, which happens
to be the only option for armv7m CPUs.

We can't know whether the kernel will be built in arm or thumb2 mode,
though, because we do not have that information: it is only available in
the Linux' .config file, which we don;t have access to at the time we
run our menuconfig.

So, relax the conditions under which the comment is made, so that it
appears as soon as binutils are >= 2.29 (i.e. not 2.28, which is the
oldest we support) for ARM CPUs.

CIP launched in the spring of 2016 to address the needs of
organizations in industries such as power generation and
distribution, water, oil and gas, transportation, building
automation and more for reliable and secure Linux-based
embedded systems that can be sustained over a period of
10 to as many as 60 years.
The project's goal is to provide an open source base layer
of industrial-grade software that permits the use and
implementation of software building blocks that meet
these requirements.
The CIP community plans to maintain 4.4 for security and
bug fixes for more than 10 years.
