the plat-orion directory and leave the other directories for the classic probing, eventually to be removed when the new stuff can handle all the machines that someone cares about.I'm not sure we'll be able to remove any machine without being sure it's working and it can take quite some time. orion/kirkwood/... are used on NAS boxes so I guess people are not necessary updating their kernel on a regular basis.
Well, there is no reason to rush this at all, it could live in parallel for a couple of years. But at one point we can decide that if nobody has bothered to write the .dts file for one board and tested it that nobody cares about that board any more and it can just get removed and possibly added back in dts form when someone does complain.
