In the patch that you applied:
8205/1  add bitrev.h file to support rbit instruction

I have add :
+       select HAVE_ARCH_BITREVERSE if ((CPU_V7M || CPU_V7) && !CPU_V6)

If you build kernel support ARMv6K, should CONFIG_CPU_V6=y, isn't it ?
Then will not build hardware rbit instruction, isn't it ?

Thanks
