[PATCH v2 19/19] ARM: mark mv78xx0 support as deprecated

From: Arnd Bergmann

Date: Wed Jul 01 2026 - 17:31:15 EST


From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@xxxxxxxx>

Only one machine remains supported and was kept in 2022 for the
Debian_on_Buffalo project that was still using this, with plans to
convert it to devicetree.

The conversion never happened, and Debian_on_Buffalo does not provide
kernels later than linux-6.1, so it is unlikely to still be useful
for a DT conversion in the future.

Mark the platform for deprecation after the next LTS kernel, which
should give any remaining users a few more years of bugfixes.
