My understanding is that Marvell has never been interested in having mainline support for the Z1 stepping. It just happens to be a necessary step to make progress with the general goal of supporting 375 in mainline, but I don't expect Marvell to be interested in supporting the Z1 boards in the wild. > Unless we can get a hard answer on that, I doubt we'll ever withdraw > support for the Z1.

That's what we've tried to do so far: the thermal driver works for the A0+ by default, and only as an exception supports Z1. Thanks!
