Most of the legacy PXA board files were marked as unused in linux-5.19 and
can get removed in linux-6.2. There is support for pxa250/pxa270/pxa300
using devicetree already, which supports a number of boards, but progress
on converting the remaining ones has stalled over the past few years.

The two boards that are left in the tree for now are the three 'sharpsl'
variants (spitz/akita/borzoi) and the 'gumstix' family of machines.
Both of these are supported by qemu, which can be helpful for completing
the DT conversion.

Only PXA25x and PXA27x are left with full boardfile support, so PXA300
can get a lot simpler while still working with DT, and PXA310/320/93x
can be removed entirely.

A good number of drivers become impossible to select after this, so
each of these also get dropped. I'm including the driver patches in the
series here and can either merge them through the soc tree, or they
can get picked up by the individual subsystem maintainers. Since both
the platform and the drivers get removed, the order should not matter.

Note that the patches here are generated with 'git format-patch -D'
and don't contain the contents of removed files because of the
significant size (the first patch is close to a megabyte).

They do not appear to be in my inbox, nor lore.
