Rodrigo Siqueira is working on ad2s1210, Tom Lebreux is working on ad2s90, and I'm working on ad2s1200. There is only a single blackfin board ([1]) that sets the proper spi driver mod alias and platform data for the ad2s1200 and the ad2s1210, and the proper mod alias for ads90. However, it seems that general support for blackfin architecture is slated to be removed, see [2] and [3]. The relevant spi master driver is also being removed. What is the best course of action? Continue working on the drivers, or remove the drivers altogether?
