None of these have devicetree support, and they are not usable
with any of the remaining board files.
From what I found:
- da620 apparently never had any users upstream, though it does
not require platform data and is theoretically usable with
an external dtb
- f75375s was only used on iop32x (long gone)
- max197 was used on x86/elan/ts5500, which is still in the
tree but cannot be enabled anymore because it is a 486 class SoC.
I have sent a separate patch to remove that platform
- max1111 was used on spitz, which is on its way out for 7.4.
I'm not sure when I'll get around to send the patches.
