Related to that, there's also mpc83xx support, do you wish to pick that up? Thanks!
What options do I have? They are really old boards.
Well, if you don't want to pick them up, we can drop them. If someone later wants to support them, they can step up.
Let me ask our FAEs to see if there is any customer using these boards. If not, and nobody in this community cares them, we can drop them.
I will pick up the ownership of MPC8555CDS, MPC8641HPCN, MPC8541CDS, and drop the support of MPC8540ADS and MPC8560ADS.
It is not clear who will maintain mpc83xx, and other orphan boards. In 2015, Sinan Akman offered to maintain mpc83xx. The discussion didn't yield any result.
I think we'll just drop mpc83xx then. Thanks for looking into this!
We still use custom mpc83xx boards and we would like to continue to do so in later u-boot.
