FromKees Cook <keescook@chromium.org>

Subject[PATCH] ARM: drop unused DEBUG_RODATA from XIP_KERNEL
Message-ID<r2UzE-4qz-7@gated-at.bofh.it>
With CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA not being sensible under XIP_KERNEL, remove it
from the XIP linker script.

Effectively the patch after Arnd's "ARM: mm: hide
__start_rodata_section_aligned for non-debug builds"

If so you should also make DEBUG_RODATA depend on !XIP_KERNEL in Kconfig 
to avoid offering a config option that does nothing.

Yeah, that's what Arnd's other patch does. This is intended to follow
his cleanups that do this.
