    atomic64: no need for CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_ATOMIC64_DEC_IF_POSITIVE · 51a02124
    Vineet Gupta authored
    This came to light when implementing native 64-bit atomics for ARCv2.
    
    The atomic64 self-test code uses CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_ATOMIC64_DEC_IF_POSITIVE
    to check whether atomic64_dec_if_positive() is available.  It seems it
    was needed when not every arch defined it.  However as of current code
    the Kconfig option seems needless
    
     - for CONFIG_GENERIC_ATOMIC64 it is auto-enabled in lib/Kconfig and a
       generic definition of API is present lib/atomic64.c
     - arches with native 64-bit atomics select it in arch/*/Kconfig and
       define the API in their headers
    
    So I see no point in keeping the Kconfig option
    
    Compile tested for:
     - blackfin (CONFIG_GENERIC_ATOMIC64)
     - x86 (!CONFIG_GENERIC_ATOMIC64)
     - ia64
