[U-Boot] Has versatilepb board support permanently been dropped in latest u-boot?

[U-Boot] Has versatilepb board support permanently been dropped in latest u-boot?

[Dipanjan Das]

In order to compile u-boot for versatilepb, I had to use [this](
https://github.com/toyoshim/u-boot) version of u-boot that contains a patch
for the board with this commit message.:

"Restore ARM versatile platform only for QEMU
The port was removed for mssing deadline to migrate the generic-board.
Thie patch revive the port for QEMU arm system emulation mode.

Not verified well, but it boots."

The [official source](https://github.com/u-boot/u-boot) doesn't have a
configs/versatilepb_defconfig, hence can't be built for versatilepb. Has
versatilepb board support permanently been dropped in latest u-boot?

Thanks & Regards,

The platform was indeed dropped due to lack of maintainer.  A new
maintainer that would be willing to keep the platform up to date with
relevant modern changes would be appreciated and could restore support,
thanks!

In case you're looking for versatilepb just because it's supported by
QEMU and not for support on the real versatilepb hardware, this
recently added qemu-arm might suit your needs just as well:
