Note that this platform is one of those we talked about removing
from the kernel for potentially being completely unused. Do we have
reason to believe that people are still using ks8695 for anything
with new kernels?

I'll put my hand up as a user of it. I run every release kernel
on KS8695 platforms, though I don't tend to do much testing of
rc kernels on it.

Ok, very good. Booting every new kernel on a platform is more testing
than a lot of the older platforms get as far as I can tell.

If any of you are doing that, we'll definitely keep the port around,
the idea is not to break anything that people are actually using.
In that case, I would like to see a MAINTAINERS entry for the platform
so we have a contact for someone who is able to ack and maybe test
patches.

I am happy enough to ack and test changes, if no one else wants to
do it. I don't expect to do any real active development on it though.
I do have some board files that would have been nice to push into
mainline, but I have been holding off (for quite a while), hoping
that someone might support DTs on this sub-arch.

If nobody is actually working on new stuff, we might be better off
with just merging the board files you have. If you don't mind, just
post what you have and then we can decide what to do with them.

Ok, will do.

Regards
Greg
