Regarding mv78xx0, I agree that I'm not sure what to do. The number of
supported platforms is small. Should we simply mark mv78xx0 deprecated
now, wait a few release cycles to see if anyone shows up, and see what
to do at this point?

We should let Sebastien Requiem comment. He is the only person outside of
Marvell who has contributed a board file for mv78xx0. If he's interested in
keeping it alive, he's hopefully also able to find the time to test the
devicetree version of that platform in mach-mvebu. Similarly, if anyone
has the MASA reference design, that one could be moved over to mach-mvebu
first.

There is a much smaller user base for mv78xx0 than for orion5x, so as long
as we can keep the support working with DT, we can throw out the legacy
code much faster than for orion. If it doesn't get put into mach-mvebu
and you can't find anyone who has hardware to test on, you could also
stop maintaining it and leave it to bitrot, but I wouldn't just remove it
on a fast track then.

The address I used for Sebastien appears to be dead. Maybe this one still
works.
