simple on x40 forget about it the x40 is no MMU only SoC

so you can not enable  it by default as the all other at91 are use with MMU

I did the necessary to make the board-dt nearly empty and the same for all the
sam9 but the board-dt is sam9 only and need to be keeped this way

Nico will tell you the same
