[PATCH] sparc: remove unused "config BITS"

[Paul Bolle]

sparc's asm/module.h got removed in commit
786d35d45cc40b2a51a18f73e14e135d47fdced7 ("Make most arch asm/module.h
files use asm-generic/module.h"). That removed the only two uses of this
Kconfig symbol. So we can remove its entry too.

We use this in the Makefile fragments, you cannot remove it.

So $(BITS) is set depending on whether CONFIG_SPARC32 is set or not.
Using $(BITS) in sparc's Makefiles is not using CONFIG_BITS. That
doesn't count as usage of "config BITS".

Just double checked - you are right.
Maybe send a v2 with this info in changelog and add my:

Ok, I'm convinced now :-)  Applied, thanks!

No need, I'll fix up the commit message.

David: should I send a second version with a line or two on the
(non-related) use of BITS in the Makefiles and Sam's ACK?

Like I replied to Sam, no need, I took care of this.
