└─>Support for the traditional ATAGS boot data passing
In linux kernel since version 3.1 (release Date: 2011-10-24)  
This is the traditional way of passing data to the kernel at boot
time. If you are solely relying on the flattened device tree (or
the ARM_ATAG_DTB_COMPAT option) then you may unselect this option
to remove ATAGS support from your kernel binary.
