With a lot of sadness, I must give up on ppc440. As I previously said,
I have currently 0 personal time, and my company has confirmed that we
cannot afford the test/development time.

Thank you all for your mentorship, patience and help during this time.

See you on the ELCE.

This also makes me quite sad. It has been my first big contribution to OS.

 I personally do not have the time to maintain it on my free time (I
have an 8 month fork :) )

But I would like to ask my employer if we can afford to maintain it.
We still have some hundreds of cameras running u-boot on ppc440.

Can I give you a final answer in a week before this is merged?

Best regards!

Yes, I can wait about that long for an answer, thanks!

I also recall this.  Ricardo?  Do you still have interest here?
Otherwise I'm going to remove these soon, thanks!

Hi Heiko,

We need to go further and convert to Kconfig, but it
turned out, nobody is interested anymore in 4xx,
so remove it.

While at it, found drivers/block/sil680.c is not used anymore,
so remove it here too.

Patch compiles clean on travis


Even though this makes me pretty sad, with all the effort that has been
put into this platform support (the first one next to PPC8xx at that
time btw), I see that no one is actually using this SoC in current
designs any more. And therefore no one wants to spend some time on
maintaining it. So lets remove it to make the way free for a more
clean U-Boot implementation... ;)

Note: Ricardo wanted to have xilinx ppc there but not sure if he wants
to invest his time to do that conversion.

Thanks,

[U-Boot] [PATCH 0/2] powerpc: remove 4xx support

[Heiko Schocher]

There was for long time no activity in the 4xx area.
We need to go further and convert to Kconfig, but it
turned out, nobody is interested anymore in 4xx,
so remove it.

While at it, found drivers/block/sil680.c is not used anymore,
so remove it here too.
