Subject: [PATCH 3.2 007/199] cris: Only build flash rescue image if
 CONFIG_ETRAX_AXISFLASHMAP is selected

3.2.87-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Guenter Roeck <linux@...ck-us.net>

commit 328cf6927bb72cadefddebbc9a23c793108147a2 upstream.

If CONFIG_ETRAX_AXISFLASHMAP is not configured, the flash rescue image
object file is empty. With recent versions of binutils, this results
in the following build error.

cris-linux-objcopy: error:
	the input file 'arch/cris/boot/rescue/rescue.o' has no sections

This is seen, for example, when trying to build cris:allnoconfig
with recently generated toolchains.

Since it does not make sense to build a flash rescue image if there is
no flash, only build it if CONFIG_ETRAX_AXISFLASHMAP is enabled.
