[U-Boot] Has versatilepb board support permanently been dropped in latest u-boot?
In order to compile u-boot for versatilepb, I had to use [this]( https://github.com/toyoshim/u-boot) version of u-boot that contains a patch for the board with this commit message.:
"Restore ARM versatile platform only for QEMU The port was removed for mssing deadline to migrate the generic-board. Thie patch revive the port for QEMU arm system emulation mode.
Not verified well, but it boots."
The [official source](https://github.com/u-boot/u-boot) doesn't have a configs/versatilepb_defconfig, hence can't be built for versatilepb. Has versatilepb board support permanently been dropped in latest u-boot?

The platform was indeed dropped due to lack of maintainer. A new maintainer that would be willing to keep the platform up to date with relevant modern changes would be appreciated and could restore support, thanks!

In case you're looking for versatilepb just because it's supported by QEMU and not for support on the real versatilepb hardware, this recently added qemu-arm might suit your needs just as well:
