Hello Wolfgang
You deleted the EP88x entry in boards.cfg at the following commit
commit 1b0757eceddf037aad99ab59217a3a5c215e15d1 Author: Wolfgang Denk wd@denx.de Date: Wed Oct 24 02:36:15 2012 +0000
PPC: remove dead boards (AMX860, c2mon, ETX094, IAD210, LANTEC, SCM) These boards have long reached EOL, and there has been no indication of any active users of such hardware for years. Get rid of the dead weight. Signed-off-by: Wolfgang Denk <wd@denx.de> Cc: Wolfgang Grandegger <wg@denx.de>You only mentioned about AMX860, c2mon, ETX094, IAD210, LANTEC, SCM in commit log. But you also deleted EP88x.
I suspect you accidentally deleted the entry of EP88x in boards.cfg because:
- EP88x is not found in doc/README.scrapyard
- include/configs/EP88x.h is remaining
- board/ep88x/ is remaining
- I could successfully build EP88x by simply re-adding entry to boards.cfg
(Wolfgang, correct me if I am wrong)
I cannot tell indeed if Wolfgang's removal of ep88x was intentional or not, but two things are sure: prior to its removal by Wolfgang, EP88x did not have any MAINTAINERS entry; and since it was removed, you are the first one to notice.
I would therefore say that if you want EP88x re-introduced, then please step up as the new board maintainer by adding your e-mail address in boards.cfg -- and please do it only if you actually have an EP88x board to test on.
If you don't have an EP88x, or do not plan to be a maintainer for it, and if no one else does either, then the best is to remove it entirely.
Best Regards Masahiro Yamada
Amicalement,
