There's one in Linaro's test lab which gets used by KernelCI:

   https://lkft.validation.linaro.org/scheduler/device_type/qcom-qdf2400

While the platform is pretty old it works well enough and provides
coverage of server platforms, ideally more server vendors would arrange
for their boards to be available but that's not actually the case yet.
The fact that it's a unique implementation of the architecture is also
interesting from a test point of view.  Given how trivial the workaround
here is it seems more useful to keep the support, could we revert this
commit please?
