Hi Arnd,

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.

* oxnas -- added in 2016, but already old then, few changes later
There is still active users in the openwrt community, so it would be goods to keep it for now.
And we have an OX820 board in KerneCI so it's still maintained & boot-tested.

Neil
