[PATCH 0/2] Resume maintenance & development of arch/sh

From: Rich Felker

Yoshinori Sato and I would like to take over as co-maintainers for the
orphaned sh (SuperH) arch. Sato-san is the current H8/300 arch
maintainer and introduced the original sh2 support in Linux. I am
working on the software side of the J-Core project reviving the sh
arch as open hardware (see https://lwn.net/Articles/647636/), and am
also the maintainer of musl libc.

We plan to transition arch/sh from legacy board support files to
device tree, clean up infrastructure that was previously arch-specific
but which has since been replaced with arch-generic solutions
elsewhere in the kernel, and add support for new hardware,
specifically the J2 and future J-Core processors and SOC devices.
