From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Mark Brown is still using this machine for regular work, so it should not be removed as originally scheduled. Give the platform another year, with the option to extend it further based on the state of ATAGS support next year. I expect that we end up removing all of s3c64xx when either Mark has moved his test setup to other hardware, or when all other ATAGS based machines are getting removed.
