No meaningful changes were made to this SoM since February 2021. Nobody from Theobroma has booted anything recent on that product since July 2021 at the latest. The product isn't available to buy anymore and disappeared from our website.
This product is therefore unmaintained and it would be disingenuous to say the opposite, so drop support for RK3368 Lion.
If you're a user of Lion, feel free to revert this patch or contact our sales/support department.
That's a pretty interesting support-strategy. While I really don't care for this board, please don't go ahead and remove the whole TPL-/SPL-part for RK3368 in yet another pointless "cleanup" only because lion was one the of last/only user. Even if EOL RK3368 is getting finally interesting in regards of display pipeline as we are finally getting a OSS gpu driver [0]. I'm planning to add a board which uses TPL/SPL soonish (when my rare spare time allows).
Please update the MAINTAINERS file for the relevant to your future platform, or even better possibly get a skeleton of this platform posted. Thanks.
I don't think the whole platform would get removed as it has several users (and is maintained) - I just was a bit worried that TPL/SPL support could get removed, but now noticed there is one more user: evb-px5. So: sorry for noise. So I will go the usual way via upstream DT (linux tree) addition and so forth.
It's easy enough to bring back the pieces from git, I have a geekbox somewhere I've always meant to take a closer look at.
