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This is first part of Intel MID outdated platforms removal.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).

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

I.o.w. we probably can remove the oldest stuff in the driver WRT above
mentioned platforms, but leave the driver for the rest.
I wouldn't be in a hurry with this though, display drivers are easy to
remove, but really hard to get back on velocity after that.

Ok, I'll have a look at removing Medfield. That code should have been
removed a long time ago.
