We'll leave them in for 2023 then. >=20 > Any thoughts on long-term uses for the platform?

I'm personally a bit pessimistic about DT conversion because existing parti= tion 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. --=20 Alexander Sverdlin.
