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. -- Alexander Sverdlin. _______________________________________________ linux-arm-kernel mailing list linux-arm-kernel@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-arm-kernel
