[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 1/2] hw/arm: Deprecate the "collie" board

[Thomas Huth <thuth@redhat.com>]

"collie" has no entry in the MAINTAINERS file, and the initial commit
with ID c64b21d519a6ecae12f65625fa60f3035ed88644 said:

"Add very basic implementation of collie PDA emulation. The system lacks
 LoCoMo and graphics/sound emulation. Linux kernel boots up to mounting
 rootfs (theoretically it can be provided in pflash images)."

Thus the board is incomplete, since after that initial commit, there were
only the usual QEMU API-related rework patches applied to this file.
Unless someone speaks up and says that this board is still useful, we
should consider to remove it, so mark it as deprecated now.
