Rather than removing it entirely, I'd rather we left a comment, so that
it's obvious that we are ignoring that feature on purpose, not because
we forget about it.

eg:

diff --git a/arch/powerpc/kernel/dt_cpu_ftrs.c b/arch/powerpc/kernel/dt_cpu_ftrs.c

All it does is clear the CPU feature if firmware tells us to. So if
we're dropping the CPU feature we can drop the whole entry in the
feature array.

cheers
