ARM: mpu: Allow enabling of the MPU via kconfig
Allows the user to select MPU support when compiling for ARM processors that support the PMSAv7. This ensures that CONFIG_SMP depends on the MPU in the case that no MMU is present. CONFIG_SMP_ON_UP is not implemented for nommu, so introduce an MMU dependency there. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Austin <jonathan.austin@arm.com> Reviewed-by: Will Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com>
