I have no attachment to 40x, and I'd certainly be happy to have less code in the tree, we struggle to keep even the modern platforms well maintained.
At the same time I don't want to render anyone's hardware obsolete unnecessarily. But if there's really no one using 40x then we should remove it, it could well be broken already.
So I guess post a series to do the removal and we'll see if anyone speaks up.
We shouldn't remove 40x completely. Just remove the Xilinx 405 stuff.
Congratulations on becoming the 40x maintainer!
Didn't I give you my last 40x system ? :-)
Probably, but my desk is nearly as messy as yours so it's probably buried under some even more obscure hardware :P
IBM still put 40x cores inside POWER chips no ?
Oh yeah that's true. I guess most folks don't know that, or that they run RHEL on them.
cheers
