Subject: [PATCH] MIPS: remove CONFIG_MIPS_LD_CAN_LINK_VDSO
Date:   Fri, 20 Jan 2023 15:33:51 +0900

Given commit e4412739472b ("Documentation: raise minimum supported
version of binutils to 2.25"), CONFIG_MIPS_LD_CAN_LINK_VDSO is always
'y'.

 # GCC (at least up to version 9.2) appears to emit function calls that make use
 # of the GOT when targeting microMIPS, which we can't use in the VDSO due to
 # the lack of relocations. As such, we disable the VDSO for microMIPS builds.
