Subject: [PATCH v2 11/19] ARM: mark ARCH_DOVE as deprecated
Date: Wed, 1 Jul 2026 23:23:45 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260701212353.2196041-12-arnd@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260701212353.2196041-1-arnd@kernel.org>
From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>
The Marvell Armada 510 (Dove) platform is supported both as devicetree
and atags/boardfile variants, with varying degrees of hardware support.
Russell was the last known user of the board file version, and there
are very few users overall. Unless Russell still needs this variant,
let's remove after the next LTS kernel, leaving the CONFIG_MACH_DOVE
variant with devicetree.
