After v5.10 was officially declared an LTS kernel, I had a look around
the Arm platforms that look like they have not seen any patches from
their maintainers or users that are actually running the hardware for
at least five years (2015 or earlier). I made some statistics and lists
for my lwn.net article last year [1], so I'd thought I'd share a summary
here for discussion about what we should remove. As I found three
years ago when I removed several CPU architectures, it makes sense
to do this in bulk, to simplify a scripted search for device drivers, header
files and Kconfig options that become unused in the process.

This is probably a mix of platforms that are completely unused and
those that just work, but I have no good way of knowing which one
it is. Without hearing back about these, I'd propose removing all of
these:

* asm9260 -- added in 2014, no notable changes after 2015
* axxia -- added in 2014, no notable changes after 2015
* bcm/kona -- added in 2013, no notable changes after 2014

I have a development board that I occasionally turn on for testing
upstream kernels, it has not broken in a while which is why it did not
get much updates. I don't feel strongly with respect to keep it or
dropping it though.
