read more..Old platforms: bring out your dead
After v5.10 was officially declared an LTS kernel, I had a look around the Arm platforms that look like they have not seen any patches from their maintainers or users that are actually running the hardware for at least five years (2015 or earlier). I made some statistics and lists for my lwn.net article last year [1], so I'd thought I'd share a summary here for discussion about what we should remove. As I found three years ago when I removed several CPU architectures, it makes sense to do this in bulk, to simplify a scripted search for device drivers, header files and Kconfig options that become unused in the process.
