[PATCH 0/3] arm: fix imx_* defconfig

Compiling the kernel using affected imx defconfigs lead
to a hard CPU crash that reaches a state where each register,
including PC ends up in 0xDEADBEEF.

That is because the SoC support depending on CONFIG_ARCH_MXC
gets disabled since CONFIG_ARCH_NXP is not defined while
said feature depends on it.

The default arm defconfig is unaffected as it defines
CONFIG_ARCH_NXP=y correctly as excepted.

These patches solve the crash causing my confusion:
