[v2] Bump minimum supported version of LLVM for building the kernel to 15.0.0

[PATCH v2 07/12] riscv: Remove version check for LTO_CLANG selects

Posted by Nathan Chancellor 1 month, 1 week ago

Now that the minimum supported version of LLVM for building the kernel
has been bumped to 15.0.0, there is no need to check the LLD version
before selecting ARCH_SUPPORTS_LTO_CLANG{,_THIN} because it will always
be true.

Small note, this will conflict with
https://lore.kernel.org/20250710-riscv-restrict-lto-to-medany-v1-1-b1dac9871ecf@kernel.org/
but I think it is simple enough to deal with.
