[PATCH v2 4/4] MAINTAINERS: Agree to maintain nanoMIPS TCG frontend

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



As of this commit, the nanoMIPS toolchains haven't been merged
in mainstream projects. However MediaTek provides a toolchain:
https://github.com/MediaTek-Labs/nanomips-gnu-toolchain/releases/tag/nanoMIPS-2021.02-01

QEMU deprecation policy schedules code for removal. If we don't
need / want to remove, we should un-deprecated [*].

Since I now have spent more time with the ISA, I agree to maintain
it along with the other MIPS ISA. Therefore remove its deprecation
notice.

For historical notes, see commit a60442eb8 ("Deprecate nanoMIPS ISA").
