Pull AVR32 removal from Hans-Christian Noren Egtvedt: "This will remove support for AVR32 architecture from the kernel and clean away the most obvious architecture related parts. Removing dead code in drivers is the next step" Notes from previous discussion about this: "The AVR32 architecture is not keeping up with the development of the kernel, and since it shares so much of the drivers with Atmel ARM SoC, it is starting to hinder these drivers to develop swiftly. Also, all AVR32 AP7 SoC processors are end of lifed from Atmel (now Microchip). Finally, the GCC toolchain is stuck at version 4.2.x, and has not received any patches since the last release from Atmel; 4.2.4-atmel.1.1.3.avr32linux.1. When building kernel v4.10, this toolchain is no longer able to properly link the network stack. Haavard and I have came to the conclusion that we feel keeping AVR32 on life support offers more obstacles for Atmel ARMs, than it gives joy to AVR32 users. I also suspect there are very few AVR32 users left today, if anybody at all" That discussion was acked by Andy Shevchenko, Boris Brezillon, Nicolas Ferre, and Haavard Skinnemoen. * 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/egtvedt/linux-avr32: mm: remove AVR32 arch special handling in mm/Kconfig lib: remove check for AVR32 arch in test_user_copy lib: remove AVR32 entry in Kconfig.debug compile with frame pointers scripts: remove AVR32 support from checkstack.pl docs: remove all references to AVR32 architecture avr32: remove support for AVR32 architecture |
