If indeed there's a user in arch/sh, it makes even more sense not to remove it. arch/sh/boards/* is intended to be removed with only DT support remaining, once drivers have DT support. :-) > > are remaining users that are still using legacy platform device > > bindings, they should gradually be transitioned to device tree, and > > having the device tree support still present makes it easier to do > > that. > > Enjoy converting ap325rxa to DT ;-) Not sure if that's expected to be worse than the rest of it and if it makes sense to convert or just remove. But I don't think changes that put us farther away from DT-only make sense. > > Removing the *bindings* is even worse, as these are a permanent > > interface between hardware/firmware and software. > > While it is a permanent interface, it is only a git revert away... Indeed, but one that requires coordination between subsystem maintainers to get it back in a working state.

For now I think it would be best if this thread served to document that sh7372 support should be removed either when another user of the bindings is added or when DT support is removed from the driver. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-sh" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

Commit edf4100906044225 ("ARM: shmobile: sh7372 dtsi: Remove Legacy file") removed the sh7272 SoC from the kernel in v4.1. This patch removes support for the sh7272 SoC from the sh_flctl driver. As that SoC was the only user of device tree support also remove that from the driver. In essence it reverts commit 7c8f680e96ed ("mtd: sh_flctl: Add device tree support"). This commit may be used as a reference for re-adding device tree support to this driver if a need for it is found in future. This commit has been build-testesd against the ap325rxa_defconfig. I do not have access to the hardware to perform run-time testing on that board which appears to be the only remaining user of this driver.
