Hi Arnd, thanks for looking into this!

However I doubt there is interest. I think the palmtops/PDAs are a bit outdated as enthusiast/hobbyist platforms with screens because those people will use PostmarketOS with cheap old tablets and phones these days. > sa1100 > > Similar to PXA, work on this appears to have stopped.

My interest is to have something to test that CPU_SA1100 is working on and I've been using the HP3600. If I wanna keep doing that I should bite the bullet and convert it to DT and multiplatform like I did with everything else I need for testing. Else I deserve to have it removed on me and I can resurrect it using DT if I want. > footbridge > > Three machines, most notably the NetWinder that a few people still have. > I assume Russell wants to keep the machines working that he still has. > ep93xx > > These are still used, and the platform includes the only remaining two > board files that were added after linux-3.0.

Same thing: if it matters enough to me I should convert it to DT and multiplatform. Someone said (ha ha only serious) to convert it to ACPI if it should live on since it is a desktop machine... > davinci > > DT conversion has stalled, and there are 12 remaining board files, > mostly for evaluation machines. No idea if any are still in use. TI is semi-actively maintaining DaVinci, I wonder if we can send the message that this needs to be converted to DT pronto to live on? Paging Aswath @TI, who just a few days ago sent some suspend/resume patches for GPIO: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-gpio/20220613054310.21186-1-a-govindraju@xxxxxx/ Aswath: can you perhaps raise this internally at TI? Thanks! Patches also came from Nokia (!) last year see ea4ab99cb58cc9f8d64c0961ff9a059825f304cf Yours, Linus Walleij
