Hey all,
As I was doing some Kconfig migrations I noticed that there's symbols for the DM9000 ethernet driver that haven't been migrated. In turn however, that driver hasn't been migrated to DM yet, and the deadline for that was v2020.07. Since that means I'll be posting patches to drop the driver later this year, I wanted to give everyone a heads-up now to see if anyone is able to convert the driver since you're listed as maintainers of a platform that uses it. Thanks!
+CC Marcel, since this is used on Colibri PXA270 .
Yeah, I guess we could also just drop Colibri PXA270 support as we stopped selling those quite a while ago. Unless, of course, somebody would be interested to keep it further maintained...
I can send a removal commit as an RFC and we will see. Okay?
Yes, board removals (JFYI, everyone on the list) is also a valid path forward.
