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@xxxxxxxxxx/ 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, Michal Changes in v2: - Remove also sound/drivers/pcm-indirect2.[ch] files Reported-by: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@xxxxxxx> - Based on my chat with Arnd I removed arch/powerpc/xmon/ changes done in v1 to keep them the same as before. (kbuild reported some issues with it too) Michal Simek (2): sound: ac97: Remove sound driver for ancient platform powerpc: Remove Xilinx PPC405/PPC440 support Documentation/devicetree/bindings/xilinx.txt | 143 -- Documentation/powerpc/bootwrapper.rst | 28 +- MAINTAINERS | 6 - arch/powerpc/Kconfig.debug | 2 +- arch/powerpc/boot/Makefile | 7 +- arch/powerpc/boot/dts/Makefile | 1 - arch/powerpc/boot/dts/virtex440-ml507.dts | 406 ------ arch/powerpc/boot/dts/virtex440-ml510.dts | 466 ------- arch/powerpc/boot/ops.h | 1 - arch/powerpc/boot/serial.c | 5 - arch/powerpc/boot/uartlite.c | 79 -- arch/powerpc/boot/virtex.c | 97 -- arch/powerpc/boot/virtex405-head.S | 31 - arch/powerpc/boot/wrapper | 8 - arch/powerpc/configs/40x/virtex_defconfig | 75 - arch/powerpc/configs/44x/virtex5_defconfig | 74 - arch/powerpc/configs/ppc40x_defconfig | 8 - arch/powerpc/configs/ppc44x_defconfig | 8 - arch/powerpc/include/asm/xilinx_intc.h | 16 - arch/powerpc/include/asm/xilinx_pci.h | 21 - arch/powerpc/kernel/cputable.c | 39 - arch/powerpc/platforms/40x/Kconfig | 31 - arch/powerpc/platforms/40x/Makefile | 1 - arch/powerpc/platforms/40x/virtex.c | 54 - arch/powerpc/platforms/44x/Kconfig | 37 - arch/powerpc/platforms/44x/Makefile | 2 - arch/powerpc/platforms/44x/virtex.c | 60 - arch/powerpc/platforms/44x/virtex_ml510.c | 30 - arch/powerpc/platforms/Kconfig | 4 - arch/powerpc/sysdev/Makefile | 2 - arch/powerpc/sysdev/xilinx_intc.c | 88 -- arch/powerpc/sysdev/xilinx_pci.c | 132 -- drivers/char/Kconfig | 2 +- drivers/video/fbdev/Kconfig | 2 +- sound/drivers/Kconfig | 12 - sound/drivers/Makefile | 2 - sound/drivers/ml403-ac97cr.c | 1298 ------------------ sound/drivers/pcm-indirect2.c | 560 -------- sound/drivers/pcm-indirect2.h | 127 -- 39 files changed, 7 insertions(+), 3958 deletions(-) delete mode 100644 arch/powerpc/boot/dts/virtex440-ml507.dts delete mode 100644 arch/powerpc/boot/dts/virtex440-ml510.dts delete mode 100644 arch/powerpc/boot/uartlite.c delete mode 100644 arch/powerpc/boot/virtex.c delete mode 100644 arch/powerpc/boot/virtex405-head.S delete mode 100644 arch/powerpc/configs/40x/virtex_defconfig delete mode 100644 arch/powerpc/configs/44x/virtex5_defconfig delete mode 100644 arch/powerpc/include/asm/xilinx_intc.h delete mode 100644 arch/powerpc/include/asm/xilinx_pci.h delete mode 100644 arch/powerpc/platforms/40x/virtex.c delete mode 100644 arch/powerpc/platforms/44x/virtex.c delete mode 100644 arch/powerpc/platforms/44x/virtex_ml510.c delete mode 100644 arch/powerpc/sysdev/xilinx_intc.c delete mode 100644 arch/powerpc/sysdev/xilinx_pci.c delete mode 100644 sound/drivers/ml403-ac97cr.c delete mode 100644 sound/drivers/pcm-indirect2.c delete mode 100644 sound/drivers/pcm-indirect2.h -- 2.26.0
