How to enable -ffuncton-sections for ARCH=arm64 ?
(in other words, how to set CONFIG_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION ?)

In upstream, it is only possible for mips and powerpc.

./arch/mips/Kconfig:82: select HAVE_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION
./arch/powerpc/Kconfig:237: select HAVE_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION



Is there another proposal to add it for arm64,
or is this about a downstream kernel?
