I hate conditional patches. Could we make this patch non-conditional by
doing instead something like:

bfin-*-linux*)
tmake_file="$tmake_file t-crtstuff-pic t-libgcc-pic t-slibgcc t-slibgcc-gld t-slibgcc-elf-ver t-linux"
;;

or something along those lines?

This will break Blackfin external toolchains, since
BR2_GCC_TARGET_CPU_REVISION was added specifically for Blackfin! It is
the only architecture that specifies a value for this variable.

See commit 66d41890ec2b76189bcd427a0cc3966ff56f9712.

If you don't want any --with-cpu option to be passed, then
BR2_GCC_TARGET_CPU should be empty. But again, how will this play with
Blackfin external toolchains?

Thanks!
