No, we can't remove mach-orion5x and mach-mv78xx0 for now, they have not been converted at all in terms of gpio/pinmux support. I've started writing some pinmux code for orion5x but it's not ready. I don't think we should rush in doing this merge into mach-mvebu. I'd prefer to have the following conditions be met before a platform gets merged into mach-mvebu: * The mach-<foo> directory no longer depends on anything in plat-orion. For mach-kirkwood, things are OK (for the DT platforms) for GPIO, MPP and PCIe, but some work remains for the IRQ controller driver and the timer driver. * All boards have been converted to the Device Tree. For mach-kirkwood, we're getting closer. Once a given mach-<foo> platform meets these conditions, it will be a clean platform, and we can merge it into mach-mvebu without any problem. So let's continue the cleanup work, conversion to DT, usage of drivers in drivers/, improvement of pinmux to support orion5x/mv78xx0, and do the move per-platform, once they are ready. What do you think?
