Because in mainline there's code that can't be built and can't be run.

(and note that you mean "selectable in Kconfig" here).

The Kconfig files in mainline don't define a symbol MACH_NEO1973_GTA01.

Yes, that would be an example fo the sort of thing that would make it impossible to select in Kconfig.

My claim is just that code that has been unbuildable in the mainline tree for over four years can be removed. But, as I said in a previous message, I don't have any stake in the GTA01 code. I don't mind revisiting all this at (say) the end of the v3.3 merge period.

No. What I'm telling you is not to revisit this, this is not a helpful change.
