Hello,

What's the name of the private-thread? Or perhaps I'm not even invited
there?

Please, elaborate "new drivers". /baytrail/ has been deprecated for
years with only two available boards (machine boards) to it - which are
somewhat duplicates of /atom/ -or- SOF equivalents (bytcr-xxxx). From
linux-kernel perspective, having 3x baytrail driver is simply bad.

Several teams, clients and groups have been asked on multiple occasions
about the usage of the /baytrail/ folder. Not once positive answer has
been given.

Thanks,
Czarek
