RFC: Removal of the v850 port?

From: Adrian Bunk
Date: Sun Jan 20 2008 - 14:25:29 EST


Is anyone maintaining the v850 port in the Linux kernel or will work on
getting it back into a usable state in the foreseeable future?

Otherwise I'll send a patch to remove it.

That's not meant personally against anyone, and it would not prevent the
port from getting back into the kernel in the future if someone will
start getting it back into a usable state, but in it's current state
it is simply useless.

Subject: Status of the v850 port?

Trying to compile the v850 port brings you many compile errors, one of
them exists since at least kernel 2.6.19.

Are there any patches in some external tree that should be merged?

Or will anyone work on getting this port back into a usable state in the
forseeable future?

Otherwise the only reasonable option would be to remove this port from
the kernel sources since it is dead code.
