I would expect one kernel release period of so notice for such a change.
But it doesn't have to be true in this specific case.

I don't personally have interest in maintaining this driver for s5pc100.
It just adds unnecessary complexity to my work and in fact I have limited
possibilities now to test the driver on s5pc100.
But if there are users and it really doesn't cost much to keep the support
for s5pc100 why bother to remove it?  Just to get rid of one mach-* directory ?

I really don't care about 6442, but what's the problem with s5pc100 ?
Is it being discontinued ? Or there is little users of it ?

I would much more like to see attempts to consolidate the code rather than
simply removing it.
