I don't really mind what you do, but when you start talking about having
any ARM build always descend into mach-bcm, then something is very wrong
with how you're going about it - you don't see anyone else needing that
in the tree, not even OMAP.

I don't really care if your intention is to decend into mach-bcm and then
do nothing - that's not the point.  The point is we shouldn't even
decend into mach-bcm if there's nothing to be built there.
