Right, there are no formal technical reasons, except that we are forward
porting this architecture+video driver for years now without any
indication that the changes were actually tested successfully. No known
current users, even in the development community. And it takes resources
developing the related architecture lpc32xx because of drivers shared
between the two.
Thanks,
