I'm not aware of anyone running mainline Linux on those, as I said
in the platform removal patch[1] description, there have not been any
contributions to third-party machine support, the only boards that
ever booted a mainline kernel were the evaluation boards.

If you have any information on hobbyist users of this platform, let
me know.
