No feedback so far, which means that nobody cares. So Blackfin support is officially discontinued. As a consequence: - The I-pipe support for Blackfin architecture will not be maintained beyond kernel 4.9.51 (LTS). - Blackfin support will be marked as deprecated in the next releases of the Xenomai 3.0.x series, and not maintained (not even build tested). This code will be fully removed from the -next branch leading to Xenomai 3.1.
