Bug Description

Impact:

We recently adjusted CONFIG_NVM to fix a build failure. The change causing this was actually a mis-merge and will be reverted. However the question came up whether it makes sense at all to build any raspberry kernel with NVME support at all. There currently is no way to attach any NVME to a raspberry pi, so lets turn off driver support for it for that kernel in total.

Fix:

Disable the relevant config options:

# CONFIG_NVM is not set
...
# CONFIG_NVME_FC is not set
# CONFIG_NVME_TARGET is not set

Regression potential:

None, we are disabling support for a piece of hardware that doesn't exist on the RaspberryPi boards.
