[PATCH 2/3] powerpc: drop HPC-NET/MPC8641D evaluation platform support

2023-02-25 Thread Paul Gortmaker
There is no denying that this was an interesting platform in its day. Access to a SMP powerpc platform became a bit more obtainable for folks in the the BSP industry in the 2007 era, thanks to this platform. Add to that the move to the black Antec case vs. the generic white 2005 era case of the MP

[PATCH 3/3] powerpc: drop HPCD/MPC8610 evaluation platform support

2023-02-25 Thread Paul Gortmaker
This evaluation platform was essentially a single core 8641 with integrated graphics/display support - in an effort to reduce chip count on kiosk and similar applications. Compared to other evaluation platforms considered for removal in other recent commits, this platform was relatively rare. Unl

[RFC PATCH 0/3] Remove some e600/MPC7448/MPC86xx evaluation platforms

2023-02-25 Thread Paul Gortmaker
[This RFC is proposed for v6.4 and hence is based off linux-next.] This is the final series in reducing our day to day cost of carrying rare evaluation platforms. It targets the e600 Freescale processor family. It starts with the HPC II (Taiga) platform[1] using the 7448 core. Unlike previous e3

[PATCH 1/3] powerpc: drop HPC II (MPC7448) evaluation platform support.

2023-02-25 Thread Paul Gortmaker
This was an interesting platform - it was the 1st instance of a respin of earlier 130nm 74xx CPUs on 90nm and systems using MPC7448 were positioned as a rack server platform solution. Given that, the evaluation platform (at least the one I had) was shipped in a horizontal 1/2 height Antec desktop
