This mach has not seen any updates since the initial inclusion besides
generic cleanup. Furthermore:
- It has a lot of reinvented interfaces, leaking all sorts of
mach-related includes into the drivers. One example is the dmaengine
which does not use the linux dmaengine-API but some privately exported
symbols. So, drivers cannot be reused. mach-mxs is very similar and
does it better.
- It can be doubted that this worked at all. Check the DMA routines in
stmp37xx.c for copy/paste bugs. A lot of APBX-related stuff is
actually writing into registers for APBH.
- There is only one board defined (which I couldn't find any trace of
despite being a development board). In this board, only two devices
have resources, the debug uart and the application uart. Neither of
those have the needed custom drivers merged (and never will). debug
uart is amba-pl011 which has an in-kernel driver without the
mach-specific-stuff. appuart has a driver which was introduced for
mach-mxs, and this one is reusable for a properly done mach.
So, this single board registers only unsupported devices and the
generic code looks suspicious and has poor design. Delete this
stuff. If there is interest, it is wiser to restart using
mach-mxs.

The meaning of CONFIG_EMBEDDED has long since been obsoleted; the option
is used to configure any non-standard kernel with a much larger scope than
only small devices.
This patch renames the option to CONFIG_EXPERT in init/Kconfig and fixes
references to the option throughout the kernel. A new CONFIG_EMBEDDED
option is added that automatically selects CONFIG_EXPERT when enabled and
can be used in the future to isolate options that should only be
considered for embedded systems (RISC architectures, SLOB, etc).
Calling the option "EXPERT" more accurately represents its intention: only
expert users who understand the impact of the configuration changes they
are making should enable it.

26-bit ARM support was removed a long time ago, and this symbol has
been defined to be 'y' ever since. As it's never disabled anymore,
we can kill it without any side effects.
