All boards should be converted to generic board by now. Change the rest over. If this causes run-time breakages then we can remove those boards.
Signed-off-by: Simon Glass sjg@chromium.org
With this, we will lose reason to drop old unmaintained boards that might be an obstacle for our further cleanup. (for example, per-board config.mk, per-board linker script)
The next chance to drop unmaintained boards is the end of 2016, where non-DM boards will be dropped. At that point, I guess most of maintainers would choose removal rather than conversion as the DM conversion requires much work.
BTW, we will never notice run-time breakages because such unmaintaned boards are never run.
I am not opposed to this patch, but bofore it is applied, I'd like to drop one more board.
