I think we are a bit far from that. The limited resources available to
work on DaVinci are being used to update frameworks. We moved to common
clock framework this year across all 6 supported SoCs. My plan for next
year is to move to sparse IRQ and get DaVinci included in
multi_v5_defconfig. Also move timer drivers to clocksource.

Even in cases where we do have device-tree support for the SoC (like
DA850), getting rid of board files completely involves writing some
additional drivers for board specific functionality. This I think is the
main bottleneck.

But I have not given up on getting there completely. The progress is
slow, though.

Thanks,
Sekhar
