This sentence is not entirely correct. Commit bcf8c7e7703b ("ARM: at91:
remove at91sam9rl legacy board support") actually removed the Kconfig
symbol ARCH_AT91SAM9RL entirely. So the check for CONFIG_ARCH_AT91SAM9RL
has been pointless since (next-20141110 and) v3.19-rc1. See my report at
https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/11/10/232 .

(I stumbled on this patch because I contemplated sending a patch to
simply remove the check for CONFIG_ARCH_AT91SAM9RL and the currently
useless function toggle_bias.)
