The 32-bit Arm platforms are a bit more interesting this time: I refreshed
an earlier series to mark code as deprecated that does have the tendency
of getting in the way of cleanups and new features but has close to zero
users. Among these are:
- 22 of the remaining 28 legacy board files that predate the current
devicetree based descriptions, using old chips from Intel and Marvell.
The remaining six board files are for TI OMAP1 and Samsung s3c64xx
chips and all still have known users.
- support for Cortex-M3/M4/M7 and ARM1136r0 CPU cores and the 25
machines based on these. These all use devicetree but the CPU
support causes disproportional work. Most of them are just
reference boards, the notable exceptions being the Nokia N800/N810
tablet and the Buglabs BUG platform.
- be8, be32, oabi and iwmmxt userspace binaries, which were mostly
associated with the platforms now scheduled for removal and
are increasingly problematic to support with modern toolchains.
Nothing is actually removed at this point, to ensure that any remaining
users continue to have the 7.3-LTS for a while longer. Patches for
removal are currently being tested.
Other updates include a continued work to convert GPIO number based
interfaces to descriptors, a patch to restore little-endian mode
on the one Arm platform (ixp4xx) that only worked in big-endian mode
recently, and some minor cleanups and bugfixes.
