I found the text a little short to justify a removal, but since I know the story, I've extended the narrative a bit, I hope this text is ok with you: [arnd: The sh7372 platform is rather dated and is believed to have no active users. It stands in the way of converting all of mach-shmobile to be multiplatform capable, as adding pinctrl and clock support for it would be more work than it's worth. As always, should any legitimate upstream users show up in the future, we will revert this removal] It would be nice to have more text in the tag description for cases that are not obvious to the reader, like this one.
