By including "select PHYS_64BIT" in the Kconfig for a particular =
board,
that option is forced enabled, and it becomes impossible to create a =

We still build a 36-bit kernel by default, and we also allow users to =
build
32-bit kernels if they really want.

If you want me to apply this please also provided a 32-bit .dts for =
p1022ds.  This should be pretty trivial based on my recent .dts =
cleanups.
