Andre, Jagan, which one of you wants to pick these up? I assume you don't want to drop the defconfigs themselves.
To be honest, I am more inclined to delete that whole file. Given its age and the (natural and understandable) volatility of engagement for those boards I don't think there is much actual information in there anymore than "person originally submitted the *_defconfig" (which we have in the git log). For instance I think that Hans retreated from day-to-day sunxi engagement years ago, and I wonder if he even still possesses all of these boards listed under his name - which was more of a catch-all anyway, IIUC.
So it's either that (which is certainly easier), or I write to everyone on the list and ask for an update on the support situation. Because I also feel that only a small fraction of these boards receives some testing, so wouldn't be surprised to find many of them broken for a while - given the refactoring we did lately.
But please note that I don't intend to drop any of the defconfigs unnecessarily, so just because we *believe* they are unsupported.
Any opinions?
Reaching out to everyone listed and checking in with them is probably a good first step. Since these boards are just a defconfig, it's not too hard to resurrect them if later on someone has one and wants to maintain it.
