I'll give them a few days to reply. In the discussion about deprecating board files we already decided that only the DT-based davinci machines are really needed, so I don't expect much objection to removing them now, but otherwise they are going away in six months anyway. Your git tag description however needs a little more background, I don't want to pull this and bypass the maintainers with a one-line commit text. Can you update the tag to describe more about why speeding up the removal is important to you? Arnd

Tag is updated like this: The following changes since commit f2906aa863381afb0015a9eb7fefad885d4e5a56: Linux 5.19-rc1 (2022-06-05 17:18:54 -0700) are available in the Git repository at: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linusw/linux-gpio.git tags/davinci-boards-delete-v5.20 for you to fetch changes up to b4aed01de48652928c8299f793625936f14d1739: ARM: davinci: Delete DM646x board files (2022-07-01 14:10:20 +0200) ---------------------------------------------------------------- Delete the two DaVinci board families DM644x and DM646x. The reason why I'm pushing for this is that I have floated patches to update the board files to use GPIO descriptors, iterated and fixed bugs in the patches reported by reviewers and build robots, and then the patches have not been merged. See: v6: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-kernel/20201103000158.325147-1-linus.walleij@linaro.org/ https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-kernel/20210715191141.430307-3-linus.walleij@linaro.org/ v7: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-kernel/20220507124536.171930-1-linus.walleij@linaro.org/ https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-kernel/20220507124536.171930-2-linus.walleij@linaro.org/ I assume this is not getting merged because of lack of interest in the platform, and such things happen. To save myself and others from spending work hours on maintaining and modernizing a platform that is not used, delete the board files. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Linus Walleij (2): ARM: davinci: Delete DM644x board files ARM: davinci: Delete DM646x board files Yours, Linus Walleij
Hi SoC folks, two patches deleting two unmainatined DaVinci boards. The patches describe how I tried to update these boards but there is no interest in that so now I am deleting them as unused and unmaintained, Please pull it in unless the DaVinci maintainers step in and says no.
