[U-Boot] Orphan Freescale PowerPC boards
Hi York,
I see some orphan boards under board/freescale directory.
$ find board/freescale -name MAINTAINERS | xargs grep Orphan board/freescale/mpc8555cds/MAINTAINERS:S: Orphan (since 2014-06) board/freescale/mpc8641hpcn/MAINTAINERS:S: Orphan (since 2014-06) board/freescale/mpc8540ads/MAINTAINERS:S: Orphan (since 2014-06) board/freescale/mpc8541cds/MAINTAINERS:S: Orphan (since 2014-06) board/freescale/mx31ads/MAINTAINERS:S: Orphan (since 2013-09) board/freescale/m5253evbe/MAINTAINERS:S: Orphan (since 2014-06) board/freescale/mpc8560ads/MAINTAINERS:S: Orphan (since 2014-06)
Will you pick up the maintainership if you want to keep them?

Related to that, there's also mpc83xx support, do you wish to pick that up? Thanks!

What options do I have? They are really old boards.

Well, if you don't want to pick them up, we can drop them. If someone later wants to support them, they can step up.

Let me ask our FAEs to see if there is any customer using these boards. If not, and nobody in this community cares them, we can drop them.

I will pick up the ownership of MPC8555CDS, MPC8641HPCN, MPC8541CDS, and drop the support of MPC8540ADS and MPC8560ADS.
It is not clear who will maintain mpc83xx, and other orphan boards. In 2015, Sinan Akman offered to maintain mpc83xx. The discussion didn't yield any result.

I think we'll just drop mpc83xx then. Thanks for looking into this!

We still use custom mpc83xx boards and we would like to continue to do so in later u-boot.

That's fine too. Can you please send a patch taking it up in MAINTAINERS and which of the various reference platforms you'll maintain? There's also a number of gdsys boards in mpc83xx too, Dirk, do you have interest in becoming the mpc83xx custodian? Co-custodianship is fine too. Thanks!

We have some new mpc83xx boards coming. Mario Six is doing most of gdsys u-boot maintenance at the moment. He would also be interested in custodianship. Would that be allright for everyone involved?
Cheers Dirk

That would be quite alright with me as that's the first person to say yes to custodianship :) Does anyone else want to step up to that level? Or just continue to test their boards (and perhaps update some MAINTAINERS files?) ? Thanks!

I'll see what mpc83xx boards I still have access to. I can then offer to run some tests regularly if some of those boards stay maintained.
