 Related to that, there's also mpc83xx support, do you wish to pick that
 up?  Thanks!

I will pick up the ownership of MPC8555CDS, MPC8641HPCN, MPC8541CDS, and 
drop the support of MPC8540ADS and MPC8560ADS.

It is not clear who will maintain mpc83xx, and other orphan boards. In 
2015, Sinan Akman offered to maintain mpc83xx. The discussion didn't 
yield any result.

I think we'll just drop mpc83xx then. Thanks for looking into this!

We still use custom mpc83xx boards and we would like to continue to
do so in later u-boot.

That's fine too.  Can you please send a patch taking it up in
MAINTAINERS and which of the various reference platforms you'll
maintain?  There's also a number of gdsys boards in mpc83xx too, Dirk,
do you have interest in becoming the mpc83xx custodian?
Co-custodianship is fine too.  Thanks!

  I'll see what mpc83xx boards I still have access to. I can then offer to
run some tests regularly if some of those boards stay maintained.

We have some new mpc83xx boards coming. Mario Six is doing most of
gdsys u-boot maintenance at the moment. He would also be interested in
custodianship. Would that be allright for everyone involved?

That would be quite alright with me as that's the first person to say
yes to custodianship :)  Does anyone else want to step up to that level?
Or just continue to test their boards (and perhaps update some
MAINTAINERS files?) ?  Thanks!
