Subject: [PATCH 07/15] ARM: s3c64xx: extend deprecation schedule
Date: Wed,  4 Dec 2024 11:28:56 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20241204102904.1863796-8-arnd@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20241204102904.1863796-1-arnd@kernel.org>

From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>

Mark Brown is still using this machine for regular work, so it should
not be removed as originally scheduled.

Give the platform another year, with the option to extend it further
based on the state of ATAGS support next year.

I expect that we end up removing all of s3c64xx when either Mark has
moved his test setup to other hardware, or when all other ATAGS based
machines are getting removed.

-	  The platform is deprecated and scheduled for removal. Please reach to
-	  the maintainers of the platform and linux-samsung-soc@vger.kernel.org if
-	  you still use it.
-	  Without such feedback, the platform will be removed after 2024.
+	  The use of ATAGS based board files is on its way out, and
+	  the only remaining S3C64xx machine in the kernel (Wolfson
+	  Cragganmore 6410) relies on this, without any realistic way
+	  to migrate it to devicetree.
+
+	  Support for S3C64XX will be kept until the 2025 LTS kernel
+	  release and may be removed in early 2026.
+
+	  Please reach out to the maintainers of the platform and
+	  linux-samsung-soc@vger.kernel.org if you use any additional
+	  s3c64xx machines based on devicetree.
