So, as for today I NAK the change for its NXP LPC part. I am planning to post a series of deprecation notices for platforms that I would like to remove for one reason or another. Since it's only one more merge before the next (S)LTS kernel, my idea was to post the series once v7.2-rc1 is out, merge it into 7.3-LTS and remove the deprecated code early next year once the LTS release is announced. I have rebased uploaded my current draft to https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/soc/soc.git/log/?h=rfc-arm-deprecation-7.2 None of those are finalized of course, and we can do any part of it earlier or later (or not at all) if there is a good reason. If you to remove the vf610m4/imx7d-cm4/lpc43xx/lpc18xx portions earlier, that is definitely fine with me. For imxrt1050, there a slightly higher chance that this is still used, so I would prefer to wait for the LTS kernel on that one. >> Frank Li (11): >> ARM: dts: vf610m4: Remove NOMMU platform support >> ARM: dts: imxrt1050: Remove NOMMU platform support >> ARM: imx: Remove NOMMU platform support >> clk: imx: imxrt1050: Remove NOMMU platform support >> pinctrl: freescale: IMXRT: Remove NOMMU platform support >> ARM: imxrt_defconfig: Remove NOMMU platform support >> ARM: dts: lpc: Remove NOMMU platform support >> ARM: mach-lpc: Remove NOMMU platform support >> ARM: configs: lpc*: Remove NOMMU platform support >> clk: nxp: lpc: Remove NOMMU platform support >> pinctrl: nxp: lpc: Remove NOMMU platform support > > NXP LPC32xx is ARMv5 and it has MMU, hence it's plainly out of scope of > the proposed "dropping NOMMU platform support". Agreed. There are a few more platforms with MMU that I would like to drop because they were never converted to devicetree support, but there is nothing wrong with lpc32xx. Arnd
