Hm, can't add much to Xilinx ppc405/440 removal patch debate. But as for the APM82181 with it's PPC464: The last time I checked was with 5.6-rc4, it worked fine on the APM82181 (a MyBook Live) device. I've made a "build your own powerpc debian sid" image thing that takes the latest kernel git and up-to-date packages from debian ports (they still make powerpc packages!): <https://github.com/chunkeey/mbl-debian> . Though, this is small potatoes. There exists a much more popular project by Ewald Comhaire (CCed): <https://github.com/ewaldc/My-Book-Live> that serves the largest userbase: <https://community.wd.com/c/wd-legacy-products> I guess we should think about upstreaming the MyBook Live DTS. Problem here is that we deviated a bit from the canyonlands.dts/bluestone.dts structure by having a skeleton apm82181.dtsi with most of the SoC defintition and a wd-mybooklive.dts for the device. <https://github.com/chunkeey/mbl-debian/blob/master/dts/apm82181.dtsi> <https://github.com/chunkeey/mbl-debian/blob/master/dts/wd-mybooklive.dts> Cheers, Christian
