    ARM: OMAP2+: Remove legacy support for omap3 TouchBook · 01ea0d42
    Tony Lindgren authored
    We've been moving all omap2+ based systems to boot in device tree only
    mode for a few years now. Only omap3 has legacy booting support
    remaining. Most omap3 boards already have related arch/arm/boot/*.dts*
    files for booting with device tree.
    
    As it seems this board only has minimal support upstreamed for the
    legacy booting and has not seen activity for on the mailing lists
    for a few years, let's attempt to remove the related legacy board-*.c
    file.
    
    I do not have this board, but it seems getting the same level of
    support with device tree based booting is mostly just configuring
    the .dts file. And there is no need to upgrade the boot loader as
    we can boot with appended DTB too. And most of the omap3 boards
    seem to be related to omap3-evm, and omap3beagleboard that are
    supported with device tree based booting.
    
    If somebody is using this board actively with the mainline kernel,
    please communicate this to the linux-omap mailing list so we can
    get the board booting with device tree based support. I can help
    some too getting the minimal device tree based booting going if
    help is needed.
    
    The reason for attempting to remove this board now is that I'd
    rather get the remaining omap3 legacy booting support into a known
    state where we at least have a .dts file being written for the
    remaining legacy boards. That is because for the next few merge
    cycles we can still revert this patch if absolutely necessary,
    but I'd rather not get suprised by missing .dts files at the point
    where we are ready to drop all remaining omap3 legacy booting
    support later on.
