From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>

I revisited some patches from a few years back, to see what
is needed forsome of the remaining platforms to become part of
CONFIG_ARCH_MULTIPLATFORM.

A few things happened since I last looked at this, which helps to make
this easier:

 - The ixp4xx platform saw a large scale cleanup

 - The ep93xx platform lost support for MaverickCrunch FPUs and
   gained support for the common clock subsystem

 - The OMAP1 platform has a proposed patch for the common
   clock subsystem.

 - The generic IRQ entry code is now used everywhere, including
   on IOP32x.

 - The s3c24xx platform is scheduled for removal next year

It appears that we can now convert almost all the remaining platforms
(ep93xx, dove, s3c24xx, iop32x and ixp4xx), leaving only:

 - OMAP1 has a separate series, since the conversion is non- trivial,
   and depends on the clk conversion from Janusz Krzysztofik. I'll
   post that separately.

 - PXA needs an even longer series, which I've also sent in the past,
   but I'll keep that for later.

 - The three StrongARM based platforms remain quite different from
   the rest, and I expect that to stay this way, until they are
   eventually removed from the tree.

For simplicity I'd want to merge the series directly through the
soc tree, provided there are no regressions or other concerns
with the patches.

Discussion [1] actually did not end with conclusion, but through all the
time there were no other votes for the platform to stay.

I will resend my above [1] patch to mention the coming removal.

Ok, thanks for the clarification, I misremembered the outcome
of the discussion. I've updated the reference in the mach/io.h
to no longer refer to that, but I still think it's safe to break
readw/writew on BAST ISA devices.

If we finish the multiplatform conversion for all ARMv5, I care
less about dropping s3c24xx entirely as an intermediate step,
but I definitely still like to see any board files and SoCs dropped
that have no users and are just a maintenance burden.

Ok, thanks!

would you like to consider a couple of fixups from the common clock
rework of ep93xx?

Sure, both look like obvious bugfixes. Shall I apply them to the
fixes branch for 5.18, or as part of the multiplatform series?

Either way, if you have any obvious bugfixes for code you maintain,
and you'd like
to get merged through the soc tree, please send them to soc@kernel.org, which
puts them into the patchwork tracker.

Thanks Arnd!

I'm fine with either option if they land not in the recycled bin ;)

Sounds great, thanks, I'll note this!

I booted on the Gateway GW-2348 which has some ethernet,
PCI and compact flash, LED and a button, so I could test a
whole lot of stuff.

However when switching over to multiplatform I needed to severely
overhaul the ixp4xx_defconfig for it to bring the same drivers in as
before, I will send my patch for that which I think need to go in in
tandem with this rework for a smooth transition.

Yours,

Perfect, thanks!

Ah right, I was planning to go through the patches again to make
sure I get them all. I did the change for some platforms but at least
missed this one. I folded in this change and will make sure I do the
same for the others as well:
