DT support on these platforms is partially # working but requires changes to additional drivers for the other # boards. # # - omap1, ep93xx, sa1100, footbridge and rpc have no DT support at the # moment but have some boards with known users. Removing the board # files that nobody uses should make it easier to try a DT conversion # if anyone cares. # # There is no explicit timeline what happens with the boards that remain # after this removal, but I expect to revisit this in the future, and # with most boards gone, there will be a good time to do a treewide # review of platform drivers that never gained DT support and have no # remaining in-tree board files" # # Link: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-kernel/CAK8P3a0Z9vGEQbVRBo84bSyPFM-LF+hs5w8ZA51g2Z+NsdtDQA@mail.gmail.com/ # # * tag 'arm-boardfiles-6.0' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/soc/soc: # ARM: cns3xxx: add CONFIG_UNUSED_BOARD_FILES dependency # ARM: iop32x: mark as unused # ARM: s3c: mark most board files as unused # ARM: omap1: add Kconfig dependencies for unused boards # ARM: sa1100: mark most boards as unused # ARM: footbridge: mark cats board for removal # ARM: mmp: mark all board files for removal # ARM: ep93xx: mark most board files as unused # ARM: davinci: mark all ATAGS board files as unused # ARM: orion: add ATAGS dependencies # ARM: pxa: add Kconfig dependencies for ATAGS based boards # ARM: add CONFIG_UNUSED_BOARD_FILES # ARM: add ATAGS dependencies to non-DT platforms # < /opt/cross/kisskb/fe-x86-64-core-i7-2017.05/bin/x86_64-linux-gcc --version # < /opt/cross/kisskb/fe-x86-64-core-i7-2017.05/bin/x86_64-linux-ld --version # < git log --format=%s --max-count=1 7d0d3fa7339ed5a06d6608b7cde9f079eba62bb1 # < make -s -j 32 ARCH=um O=/kisskb/build/linus_um-defconfig_um-x86_64 CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/fe-x86-64-core-i7-2017.05/bin/x86_64-linux- SUBARCH=x86_64 defconfig # < make -s -j 32 ARCH=um O=/kisskb/build/linus_um-defconfig_um-x86_64 CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/fe-x86-64-core-i7-2017.05/bin/x86_64-linux- SUBARCH=x86_64 help # make -s -j 32 ARCH=um O=/kisskb/build/linus_um-defconfig_um-x86_64 CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/fe-x86-64-core-i7-2017.05/bin/x86_64-linux- SUBARCH=x86_64 olddefconfig # make -s -j 32 ARCH=um O=/kisskb/build/linus_um-defconfig_um-x86_64 CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/fe-x86-64-core-i7-2017.05/bin/x86_64-linux- SUBARCH=x86_64 LINK linux Completed OK # rm -rf /kisskb/build/linus_um-defconfig_um-x86_64 # Build took: 0:00:49.310482
