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This is first part of Intel MID outdated platforms removal.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).
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.
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.
My info on this comes from this bugreport:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1665766

And the machine that bugreport is about is a "Thecus N5550 NAS box (Intel Atom D2550/Cedarview platform)"

Regards,

Hans
