Right, and of course we can always bring it back later if we someone does a DT port, we would just treat it as a new platform then. I had started cleaning up arch/arm/mach-sa1100/include/mach/ at some point in the past but gave up as it got too hard to untangle those without breaking stuff. A new port would likely be easier there. Arnd
