The data sheet of the i.MX35 says it is an ARM1136JF-S processor, version r1p3,
which, according to section "B.1. New instructions" of the ARM1136JF-S and
ARM1136J-S Technical Reference Manual, makes the i.MX35 CPU architecture not
only ARMv6, but ARMv6k.

Is this true for i.MX31 aswell? If not, we would have to add additional
magic to enable CPU_V6K only when SOC_IMX31 is not selected.

No.

Why? That could be "select CPU_V6K if !SOC_IMX31", but e.g. CPU_V7 is selected
by SOC_IMX5 whether or not SOC_IMX31 or SOC_IMX35 is selected, and CPU_V6/6K/7
conflicts are handled with priorities by the ARM infrastructure.

A boot test on i.MX31 shows that you are probably right. I remember a
time when enabling CPU_V6K caused trouble, but it seems this has been
sorted out.

So, applied this one.
