I do agree with Arnout on one point here: we can hide this choice
when !BR2_bfin. However, contrary to Arnout, I'd like to keep this
BR2_BINFMT_ELF choice as an invisible option, that is always selected
on !BR2_bfin. Yes it's useless, but I think it makes the binfmt options
clearer.

Sonic, once this is changed, you have my Acked-by: Thomas Petazzoni
<thomas.petazzoni@free-electrons.com> on this patch.

Thanks!

Thomas

  OK for me. Most important is that the choice is hidden when empty.
