Only three serial drivers remain to be converted. This series drops two of those, since the boards appear to be unmaintained.
With this, only blackfin remains.
The blackfin driver probably needs to be converted as there is recent activity with these boards. I am copying the maintainer so that this work can be completed.
Could you please hold off with dropping the PXA serial driver and accompanying PXA270 support. I will have a look at it ASAP. We do actually continue to sell the Colibri PXA270 (as we are the Colibri PXA320) and I have been maintaining it lately with sending patches as recently as last week! It would be rather sad to see it drop like the PXA3xx support did a couple years back when we were too busy with other issues.
OK we can hold off - when do you expect to do this?
Thanks Simon, I'm looking into it right now.
Great. Also are you going to bring back the other PXA boards? It should be really easy - I very much doubt that there will be any odd bugs with generic board.
Also re PXA3xx, please feel free to bring it back. If I recall it was only removed long after the deadline for conversion.
Yeah, I guess the only constant is change (;-p).
Well I wish it could happen for free :-) This was signaled for a long long time. I think we missed an email to maintainers for the generic board stuff, but I thought that serial drivers were well communicated. I hope that maintainers can take on a little work every now and then.
Regards, Simon
