The Atmel at91 line, now known as Microchip SAM contains both
SoCs using ARM926 and Cortex-A CPUs as well as a number of
microcontrollers. Only a single one of those MCUs currently
has Linux support, and has no known users.

The samv7 platform was deprecated in Linux-7.3LTS, which will
remain supported a while longer after it is gone from mainline.
