[PATCH v3 4/5] ARM: footbridge: limit CONFIG_ISA to CATS

From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd at arndb.de>

The CONFIG_ISA option is only used for actual add-in cards, not
on-board devices. NetWinder has no hardware support for those,
and ebsa285 appears to not support them in Linux, as the XBUS
is not set up that way and there is no support for a PCI-ISA
bridge.

CATS on the other hand has four ISA slots connected to a PCI-ISA
bridge device.

Russell mentioned that it is no longer possible to select the sound
drivers for Netwinder after this, as the WaveArtist sound chip is
connected to the ISA bus. However, the WaveArtist module was removed
years ago in linux-4.15 and did not actually depend on CONFIG_ISA.
While the SoundBlaster compatibility mode of the SoundChip might work
with the ALSA sb16-isa driver with a little help, there is no mixer
support without the waveartist driver, and the default settings for
sb16 never probe IRQ 3.
