Given the incomplete state of this platform, removing it makes complete sense to me. > config ARCH_AXXIA > - bool "LSI Axxia platforms" > + bool "LSI Axxia platforms (DEPRECATED)" > depends on ARCH_MULTI_V7 && ARM_LPAE The dependency on LPAE reminded me of two other 32-bit ARM platforms with lots of memory: Calxeda Midway and Highbank. Is anyone still using those? Maybe they could be removed, since people seem to want to remove highmem: https://lwn.net/Articles/813201/ https://static.linaro.org/connect/lvc20/presentations/LVC20-106-0.pdf > select ARM_AMBA > select ARM_GIC > @@ -13,3 +13,5 @@ config ARCH_AXXIA > > The LSI Axxia platforms require a Flattened Device Tree to be p= assed > to the kernel. > + > + This platform is scheduled for removal in early 2027 microscopic nit: missing period Reviewed-by: Ethan Nelson-Moore Ethan
