Subject: [PATCH v2 19/19] ARM: mark mv78xx0 support as deprecated
Date: Wed, 1 Jul 2026 23:23:53 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260701212353.2196041-20-arnd@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260701212353.2196041-1-arnd@kernel.org>
From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>
Only one machine remains supported and was kept in 2022 for the
Debian_on_Buffalo project that was still using this, with plans to
convert it to devicetree.
The conversion never happened, and Debian_on_Buffalo does not provide
kernels later than linux-6.1, so it is unlikely to still be useful
for a DT conversion in the future.
Mark the platform for deprecation after the next LTS kernel, which
should give any remaining users a few more years of bugfixes.
