what are your projections for EP93xx support?

I'm personally a bit pessimistic about DT conversion because existing partition
tables were already challenged by the kernel growth. It has at least grown
+60% with the same config since 2006. This makes me think that 2023 EOL for this
SoC might be feasible.
