Earlier versions of OpenWRT and Debian both had support for iop32x
but not the others, and they both dropped iop32x as well in their 2015
releases.

I'm just guessing that iop32x is still needed, and the other two are
not. If anyone disagrees with that assessment, let me know so we
can come up with an alternative approach.
I'm not sure who would scream if iop32x support went away as well, but
I have not followed this space in years hence copying Martin.
I believe iop13xx were mostly Intel dev boards.  I'm not aware of any
major devices based on iop33x.

As Arnd points out, Debian used to have support for various iop32x
devices.  While Debian hasn't supported iop32x in a number of years,
these devices are still usable and in use (RMK being a prime example).

So I think it's safe to drop iop33x/iop13xx while retaining support
for iop32x.

As I was looking at my email archives, I saw an email from Peter
Teichmann who was working on an iop33x based platform (around 2009) so
I've copied him as well.
In any event:
