Is that sufficient to keep it?
for me it is. But now we probaly need some reverts then...
Indeed. Fortunately not all of it, as some removals were TX4938-only.
These patches should not break RBTX4927:

  net: tc35815: Drop support for TX49XX boards
  spi: txx9: Remove driver
  mtd: Remove drivers used by TX49xx
  char: hw_random: Remove tx4939 driver
  rtc: tx4939: Remove driver
  ide: tx4938ide: Remove driver
Indeed.
And these patches just break audio-support only.

  dma: tx49 removal
  ASoC: txx9: Remove driver

I think dma and ASoC drivers are hard to maintain now, and can be
dropped for basic support for RBTX4927.
(TX39 boards does not have audio-support, so dma txx9 driver can be
dropped too)
Agreed, I don't test audio anyway, but I know it used to work (I had
intended to use the board as an MPD media server, but never got beyond
the prototyping phase).
