Hi guys,

This is first part of Intel MID outdated platforms removal. It's collected into
immutable branch with a given tag, please pull to yours subsystems.

Hi Andy,
Do you plan on eventually removing X86_INTEL_MID completely? If so,
then I should probably start looking at removing the corresponding
parts in GMA500.

Nope. It is related to only Medfield / Clovertrail platforms.

There are other (MID) platforms that may / might utilize this driver
in the future.

Right, there's still Oaktrail / Moorestown with hardware in the wild.

Actually Moorestown had to be removed a few years ago (kernel won't
boot on them anyway from that date when Alan removed support under
arch/x86 for it).

Ok. I lump Moorestown and Oaktrail together since they have the same
Z6xx series CPU/GPU (GMA600). I still have a working Oaktrail device
so that support should stay in gma500.

I'm talking about Merrifield and Moorefield that can utilize it and
also some other platforms that are not SFI based (Cedar something...
IIRC).

Yes at least there are some 64 bit capable SoCs with GMA500 which were
used in NAS like devices. These NAS-es actually have a VGA output
(and maybe also DVI?) which is attached to the GMA500.

Yes these should be Cedarview/Cedartrail. Some of them are 64-bit and
some are 32-bit. I think it came down to if bios enabled it or not.
Cedarview comes with VGA, DVI and eDP/DP. Quite a few Cedarview
devices exist in the wild.

Since you are talking about 64-bit, definitely they are *not*
Moorestown, Medfield, Clovertrail since the mentioned never were
64-bit. But it would be nice to see the CPU model number to be sure.

I know people are running Fedora on these, so we should at least keep
these supported.

Is it possible to gather the CPU model number from them? (Or at least
the exact device/box name)

Yes, it would be interesting to know more about Clovertrail. gma500
only supports up to the Cedarview GPUs but Clovertrail might also use
a Cedarview GPU.
