Arnd Bergmann 1608b4d1c5 ARM: mark footbridge as deprecated
Along with RiscPC and SA1100, these are the last remaining Intel StrongARM
machines. The Corel NetWinder used to be particular popular in the late
1990s, but was discontinued during the bankruptcy of rebel.com in 2001.
The other machine is the DEC (later Intel) EBSA285 evaluation board that
was made in small numbers in 1997 for software developers.

The footbridge/netwinder platform was the main target for the first Debian
2.0 "Hamm" release on the Arm architecture back in 1998, but was dropped
in Debian 6.0 "Squeeze" in 2011, which only supported ARMv4T and higher
with the EABI based ports as ARMv4 hardware had fallen already out of
use by that time.

Support for systems based on the DC21285 companion chip
("FootBridge"), used in the EBSA285 and the Rebel NetWinder.
Support for these machines will go away in 2027,
unless there are any remaining users that speak up.
