I would like to get your feedback regarding the status of the Samsung SMDK6400
board:
- It is not in boards.cfg, so, according to commit 1285a28, support for it
should already have been removed a long time ago. It also seems to be the
only board remaining in the main Makefile.
- It uses the deprecated NAND SPL.
- MAKEALL does not test its build, which has been broken for a while.
- If it were removed or fixed, ARM1176's start.S' relocate_code() could be made
identical to all the other implementations of this function, so all this
duplicated code could be moved to a common location like crt0.S. Besides
that, it would be possible to completely get rid of the legacy NAND SPL on
ARM.

I have no intention of fixing this board, but dropping it and cleaning up ARM
after that would be easy.

Best regards,
Beno?t
