[PATCH v3 2/2] ARM: start: drop support for machine type casted to boarddata pointer

[Ahmad Fatoum]

Commit 84d28cec7f49 ("ARM: add a machine number mechanism for boarddata")
added in 2015 added a struct barebox_arm_boarddata mechanism for PBL to
pass machine type to barebox proper without going the legacy router of
casting the machine type integer to a pointer directly.

The legacy way with casting was mostly broken two years ago with commit
390bc7834ffc ("ARM: start: check for machine type last").

Only user that complained about it was using an in-tree board that has
in the meantime been fixed to use struct barebox_arm_boarddata instead.

Take this as indication that the code is dead and can be safely removed.

This may introduce regressions for boards that happened to work, despite
their machine type integer being dereferenced as a pointer. If you
happen to have such a board, please pass a pointer to a
struct barebox_arm_boarddata instead.
