According to e9fd66defd (ARM: mx6: define CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_742230), the 
CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_742230 option should only be applied to multi-core
variants, so restrict its usage for quad and dual-lite only.

Quoting Shawn Guo [2]:

"The sololite has the same core version as dual/quad - r2p10.  The
help text of erratum 742230 in kernel suggests that only version
r1p0..r2p2 are affected.  So it sounds like the erratum 742230 should be
irrelevant to i.MX6 SoCs.  However we were running into a reboot issue
on multi-core i.MX6 SoCs.  There was a quite long discussion [1] about
it.  Though we did not reach a conclusion in the thread, one ARM people
sent me a private message, suggesting this should be an ARM core issue
and workaround for erratum 742230 might help.  And it turns out what he
said is true.  And that's why I came up with the commit e9fd66defd (ARM:
mx6: define CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_742230) to turn on the erratum for imx6
dual/quad.
