With IXP4xx, Gemini and EP93xx we have found active users and
companies selling the chips and reference designs and even
recommending it for new products (!) at times. If this is not the
case with KS8695 and no hobbyists are willing to submit it
to OpenWrt and modernize it to use device tree I think it should be
deleted from the kernel.
That may be the best approach if indeed no one is using it,
much less maintaining it.
Well, I for one don't really use it any more. So I don't have a lot
of motivation to maintain it any longer.
I came across my patches while rebasing my backlog to 5.3-rc1.
Should I save the (very small) trouble of sending them out again
and just remove the platform then?
At this time I have no issue with removing it.
Ok, let's do that then.
For reference, this is what I think we should do for the
remaining ARM9 based platforms that never gained multiplatform
support, as time permits:
netx: is now removed
ks8695: remove next
w90x900: probably remove, need to confirm with last known users
davinci: almost multiplatform now, should be done in 5.4
ep93xx: convert to common-clk, generic-irq, then enable multiplatform
(linusw is on it)
omap1: convert to common-clk, change pcmcia driver to common
I/O space method, use dma_pfn_offset for virt_to_bus, add ugly
hacks for cpu_is_omap*() and omap_readl(), then enable multiplatform
(arnd has started this)
lpc32xx: clean up header files so we can build last 6 drivers
independently, then move to multiplatform, probably after 5.4
I have patches for this somewhere.
s3c24xx: change 18 drivers that still use mach/* headers, get
creative about mach-bast ISA I/O space
