Hmm I don't think mach-integrator is using ARM710T? The ARM710T was done by NEC and was used by the Psion MX hardware. It's very close to ARM720T as far as I remember so might as well keep the CPU support for it as that's just a few lines of code in the mainline kernel. I don't think we have any mach directories using ARM710T, but I would not be surprised if somebody comes along with device tree based booting patches for Psion MX at some point. Regards, Tony
