The selection of CRC32 by ARM64 was added by commit 7481cddf29
("arm64/lib: add accelerated crc32 routines") as a workaround for the
fact that, at the time, the CRC32 library functions used weak symbols to
allow architecture-specific overrides. That only worked when CRC32 was
built-in, and thus ARM64 was made to just force CRC32 to built-in.
Now that the CRC32 library no longer uses weak symbols, that no longer
applies. And the selection does not fulfill a user dependency either;
those all have their own selections from other options. Therefore, the
selection of CRC32 by ARM64 is no longer necessary. Remove it.
Note that this does not necessarily result in CRC32 no longer being set
to y, as it still tends to get selected by something else anyway.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
