I agree with Rob that at the very minimum, any dtsi files in the kernel should be build-tested along with the rest, so either we add some dts files using them soon, or we can remove pxa2xx (and maybe pxa3xx) completely. I already plan to remove the remaining board files for both sa1100 and pxa soon, as nobody has picked up the task to do any further DT conversion after we removed the majority of the files back in 2022 and left only the ones that someone said they'd be interested in keeping. Robert, let me know if you or someone else is able to spend some time on sending (warning-free) dts files for pxa2xx machines soon. If not, I'd plan to remove whatever is there along with the board files and drivers. I also checked the pxa3xx Raumfeld devicetree support that Daniel added in linux-3.7. The manufacturer's firmware download page contains kernel images based on this work, using a 4.19 kernel but built in 2022. If we remove pxa2xx DT support, it would be good to find out if anyone still plans to use something newer on that hardware, which may happen because of CRA requirements. Arnd
