From 7d92e50ceacd32c801fab648c96dc2f74b0f0d48 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Arnd Bergmann Date: Fri, 23 Aug 2024 12:52:15 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] ARM: mark mach-sa1100 as deprecated Most of the old StrongARM1100 machines were removed two years ago as part of a wider cleanup, the remaining four were left either because someone showed interest in converting them to devicetree, or because they were still supported by qemu and therefore useful to keep the platform alive. None of the devicetree conversion actually happened, and qemu has marked the platform as deprecated, so do the same in the kernel now. If anyone is still running one of these four machines and planning to keep updating their kernels, please speak up now so we can adapt the plans as needed. If nobody is found using StrongARM1100 any more, it can be removing during 2027, leaving 7.3-LTS as the last longterm support kernel for it.
