Come on, v4.10 has just been release and

It doesn't build anymore. And current case even worse
Face it. It's dead.

I agree it hasn't seen any significant development in a while but I'm
not the on able to take that decision.

I've been wanting to add devicetree support for some time, but I no
longer remember how to build the toolchain, and I don't have fond
memories of that whole process. And the fact that
4.2.4-atmel.1.1.3.avr32linux.1 is still the most current version of
gcc doesn't make me very optimistic.

So while Hans-Christian and others have been doing a great job of
keeping AVR32 on life support, I tend to think that if there's not
enough enthusiasm for the architecture to build a modern toolchain or
add support for device tree, avr32-linux probably isn't going anywhere
exciting.

A few weeks ago, I was telling Boris to let it not build for a while and
then remove it. You already went out of your way to make it work. Again,
feel free to send a patch removing avr32. I can only see a lot of
benefits for the Atmel ARM SoCs and the many cleanups that will follow.

Agree, I can't help but feel that the AVR32 support is doing more harm
than good at this point.

If nobody complains about the 4.10 breakage, You'll have plenty of time
to remove it for 4.12

I'm fine with that, but I haven't put much effort into keeping it
alive lately. If Hans-Christian agrees, I'm willing to post a patch to
remove it, or ack someone else's patch.
