Subject: [PATCH v2 04/19] ARM: deprecate support for ARM1136r0
Date: Wed,  1 Jul 2026 23:23:38 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260701212353.2196041-5-arnd@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260701212353.2196041-1-arnd@kernel.org>

From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>

This CPU revision remains a special case as it is now incompatible
with CONFIG_SMP. Only the Nokia N8x0 is used in practice, and even
that one is fairly rare these days, so let's plan to remove all of
them after the 2026 LTS kernel release.

Acked-by: Linus Walleij <linus.walleij@linaro.org>
