I have a H3600 and a Collie (with 64MB) here myself, though I have no plans to do anything with these. I've marked the assabet, h3600 and collie for staying around now. > 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. My feeling is that it's not worth going there for any of the three StrongARM platforms: rpc has a deadline in a few years when the compiler stops working, and sa1100 machines are mostly limited to 32MB (sometimes 64MB). footbridge is probably the easiest out of the lot. I can resend my patch to remove ebsa285 add-in mode, and I also have some patches for cleaning up the ISA DMA. > > davinci > > > > DT conversion has stalled, and there are 12 remaining board files, > > mostly for evaluation machines.

I assume Sekhar and Bartosz have a plan. As Tony said, the important machines are the DA850 ones that are already converted. > 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?
