I would like to get your feedback regarding the status of the Samsung SMDK6400 board:
- It is not in boards.cfg, so, according to commit 1285a28, support for
it should already have been removed a long time ago. It also seems to be the only board remaining in the main Makefile.
- It uses the deprecated NAND SPL.
- MAKEALL does not test its build, which has been broken for a while.
- If it were removed or fixed, ARM1176's start.S' relocate_code() could
be made identical to all the other implementations of this function, so all this duplicated code could be moved to a common location like crt0.S. Besides that, it would be possible to completely get rid of the legacy NAND SPL on ARM.
I have no intention of fixing this board, but dropping it and cleaning up ARM after that would be easy.
Cc:ing the board maintainers, as they should be the first ones to be asked whether they intend to bring the board into boards.cfg and fix it, or whether it should be dropped.
Scratch this: correct maintainer CC:ed now
Yes, I had already Cc'ed Zhong.
(how about changing the MAINTAINERS file format so that we can tell for sure without having to ceck the first entry?)
That would be good. E.g., a colon could be added after the last e-mail address of each group of board maintainers, or the empty line between the e-mail addresses and the boards could be removed.
Best regards, Benoît
