Arnd's commit is not broken. It does what Arnd writes in his commit
message what it should do.

And this patch is just a clean-up that removes references, but it is
just "stylistic" and reduces the complexity of Kconfig dependency
definitions for non-existing config symbols. I do not see that this
patch fixes Arnd's patch. It is just a clean-up with a reference to
Arnd's patch to understand why this clean up can be done now.

If you REALLY want the Fixes: tag, I can sure add it. But, I do not
claim that I am fixing anything here; nothing was broken in the first
place. The reference to the commit of interest is in the commit
message, and anyone can follow or extract the information if they are
interested.

So, please keep this patch in the queue for nand/next.
