A few weeks ago, I was telling Boris to let it not build for a while and
then remove it. You already went out of your way to make it work. Again,
feel free to send a patch removing avr32. I can only see a lot of
benefits for the Atmel ARM SoCs and the many cleanups that will follow.

Agree, I can't help but feel that the AVR32 support is doing more harm
than good at this point.

I also agree on this, I can relate to Nicolas (and Atmel friends) having to
always think about the less-maintained AVR32 parts when improving drivers.

If nobody complains about the 4.10 breakage, You'll have plenty of time
to remove it for 4.12

I'm fine with that, but I haven't put much effort into keeping it
alive lately. If Hans-Christian agrees, I'm willing to post a patch to
remove it, or ack someone else's patch.

Then lets plan this for 4.12, either you H?vard whip up a patch or I can
eventually do it.

I can push it through the linux-avr32 git tree on kernel.org.

I think think it is fair to have one of you two prepare the patch. It is
definitively a sad decision :( but it will help us immensely! Thank you!
