[PATCH v6 4/7] x86: Enable SSE in 64-bit mode

Simon Glass sjg at chromium.org
Thu Jan 4 16:10:39 CET 2024


This is needed to support Truetype fonts. In any case, the compiler
expects SSE to be available in 64-bit mode. Provide an option to enable
SSE so that hardware floating-point arithmetic works.
