The interest of maintaining the DaVinci DM644x board files seems
very low. Patches to convert the EVM board to use GPIO descriptors
has not been reviewed, tested or merged for several merge
windows in a row, see link below.

When I look in the logs for the board files I see nothing but
generic kernel maintenance and no testing on real hardware for
years.

I conclude the DM644x board files are unused and can be deleted.

I realized Kevin Hilman wrote the original support code and might have
this board in his test farm in the shed so paging Kevin too.

Until a year or so ago, I was still boot testing some davinci platforms
in "legacy" mode via board files, but I stopped.  Since then my DM644x
died completely, so I don't even have this platform anymore for testing.

P.S. Sorry for the lag, just catching up after taking some summer time off.
