Subject: [PATCH v2 2/3] irqchip/riscv-intc: remove user selectability of RISCV_INTC

From: Conor Dooley <conor.dooley@...rochip.com>

Since commit e71ee06e3ca3 ("RISC-V: Force select RISCV_INTC for
CONFIG_RISCV") the driver has been enabled at the arch level - and is
mandatory anyway. There's no point exposing this as a choice to users,
so stop bothering.

I'd swear I had an interaction with someone a few months ago about the
RISCV_INTC Kconfig options but I cannot for the file of me remember who.
I hope this patch is not be going back on what I said then...
