[Slackbuilds-users] hw-probe should be arch independent

[Arnaud]

Hi fellow slackers.

I'd guess that x86_64=UNSUPPORTED means it is unsupported.
Which is not the case, it works.
It should be left empty.

Most builds have a unique source for all arch, noarch is the same, with only DOWNLOAD and MD5SUM.

Best regards,

 - Yth.
