Linus Torvalds bd5f485f3f soc: Arm platform updates for 7.3
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.
