Hi,

recently we wanted to update xilinx intc driver and we found
that function
which we wanted to remove is still wired by ancient Xilinx
PowerPC
platforms. Here is the thread about it.
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-next/48d3232d-0f1d-42ea-3109-f44bbabfa2e8@xilinx.com/ (local)


I have been talking about it internally and there is no
interest in these
platforms and it is also orphan for quite a long time. None is
really
running/testing these platforms regularly that's why I think
it makes sense
to remove them also with drivers which are specific to this
platform.

U-Boot support was removed in 2017 without anybody complain
about it
https://github.com/Xilinx/u-boot-xlnx/commit/98f705c9cefdfdba62c069821bbba10273a0a8ed


Based on current ppc/next.

If anyone has any objection about it, please let me know.

Thanks for taking the time to find all this code and remove it.

I'm not going to take this series for v5.7, it was posted too
close to
the merge window, and doing so wouldn't give people much time
to object,
especially given people are distracted at the moment.

I'm happy to take it for v5.8, assuming there's no major
objections.

Sure. Just to let you know Christophe Leroy included this patch
in his
series about ppc405 removal. It should be the same.

If you don't want to take that alsa patch I can send it
separately and
this patch can be taken from his series. I don't really mind but
please
let me know what way you prefer.

It's better to keep it all together, so I'm happy take the alsa
patch as
well, it's already been acked.

Can you please take this series? I know that there is v5 from
Christophe
which has this 1/2 as 1/13. But I need this alsa patch too and I would
like to close this because it is around for almost 2 months and none
raised a concern about removing just these Xilinx platforms.

Sorry I meant to reply to your last mail.

I have Christophe's series in my testing branch, planning for it to be
in v5.8.

Even if the rest of his series doesn't make it for some reason, as you
say the Xilinx removal is uncontroversial so I'll keep that in.

I forgot about the sound patch, I'll pick that up as well.

I took a look at your
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/powerpc/linux.git repo
and I can't see any branch with my patches.
Also was checking linux-next and my patches are also not there.
That's why I am curious if this will be go v5.8 in MW.

I see them in
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/powerpc/linux.git in
next-test branch.

ah. My bad.

Thanks,
Michal
