Subject: Arm64: leave .bfloat16 processing to common code
X-Git-Url: https://git.libre-soc.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=7727283e512e9ff0b014092a483560afbf7dddfe;p=binutils-gdb.git

Arm64: leave .bfloat16 processing to common code

With x86 support having been implemented by extending atof-ieee.c, avoid
unnecessary code duplication in md_atof(). This will then also allow to
take advantage of adjustments made there without needing to mirror them
here.
