WANT_32BIT:1 WANT_64BIT:0 WANT_PI4:0 WANT_PI5:0 still installs *-v8-16k (and *-v7) kernels  #39

If I run rpi-update on an ancient old Raspberry Pi model 1B it installs the *-v8-16k kernel which is a waste of time and uses SDCard space. [It also installs *-v7 kernels but I don't suppose we can suppress that without adding more code to check for models.]

I'm running rpi-update with the following overrides WANT_32BIT=1 WANT_64BIT=0 WANT_PI4=0 WANT_PI5=0

That gets this log

I thought that WANT_PI5=0 would be enough to suppress the *-v8-16k kernels.
