linux-toradex.git/Documentation/00-INDEX, branch master

Drop all 00-INDEX files from Documentation/

2018-09-09T21:08:58+00:00

This is a respin with a wider audience (all that get_maintainer returned)
and I know this spams a *lot* of people. Not sure what would be the correct
way, so my apologies for ruining your inbox.

The 00-INDEX files are supposed to give a summary of all files present
in a directory, but these files are horribly out of date and their
usefulness is brought into question. Often a simple "ls" would reveal
the same information as the filenames are generally quite descriptive as
a short introduction to what the file covers (it should not surprise
anyone what Documentation/sched/sched-design-CFS.txt covers)

A few years back it was mentioned that these files were no longer really
needed, and they have since then grown further out of date, so perhaps
it is time to just throw them out.

A short status yields the following _outdated_ 00-INDEX files, first
counter is files listed in 00-INDEX but missing in the directory, last
is files present but not listed in 00-INDEX.

List of outdated 00-INDEX:
Documentation: (4/10)
Documentation/sysctl: (0/1)
Documentation/timers: (1/0)
Documentation/blockdev: (3/1)
Documentation/w1/slaves: (0/1)
Documentation/locking: (0/1)
Documentation/devicetree: (0/5)
Documentation/power: (1/1)
Documentation/powerpc: (0/5)
Documentation/arm: (1/0)
Documentation/x86: (0/9)
Documentation/x86/x86_64: (1/1)
Documentation/scsi: (4/4)
Documentation/filesystems: (2/9)
Documentation/filesystems/nfs: (0/2)
Documentation/cgroup-v1: (0/2)
Documentation/kbuild: (0/4)
Documentation/spi: (1/0)
Documentation/virtual/kvm: (1/0)
Documentation/scheduler: (0/2)
Documentation/fb: (0/1)
Documentation/block: (0/1)
Documentation/networking: (6/37)
Documentation/vm: (1/3)

Then there are 364 subdirectories in Documentation/ with several files that
are missing 00-INDEX alltogether (and another 120 with a single file and no
00-INDEX).

I don't really have an opinion to whether or not we /should/ have 00-INDEX,
but the above 00-INDEX should either be removed or be kept up to date. If
we should keep the files, I can try to keep them updated, but I rather not
if we just want to delete them anyway.

As a starting point, remove all index-files and references to 00-INDEX and
see where the discussion is going.

CRIS: Drop support for the CRIS port

2018-03-16T09:56:05+00:00

The port was added back in 2000 so it's no longer even a good source
of inspiration for newer ports (if it ever was)

The last SoC (ARTPEC-3) with a CRIS main CPU was launched in 2008.

Coupled with time and working developer board hardware being
in low supply, it's time to drop the port from Linux.

So long and thanks for all the fish!

arch: remove blackfin port

2018-03-16T09:55:47+00:00

The Analog Devices Blackfin port was added in 2007 and was rather
active for a while, but all work on it has come to a standstill
over time, as Analog have changed their product line-up.

Aaron Wu confirmed that the architecture port is no longer relevant,
and multiple people suggested removing blackfin independently because
of some of its oddities like a non-working SMP port, and the amount of
duplication between the chip variants, which cause extra work when
doing cross-architecture changes.

arch: remove frv port

2018-03-09T22:19:58+00:00

The Fujitsu FRV kernel port has been around for a long time, but has not
seen regular updates in several years and instead was marked 'Orphaned'
in 2016 by long-time maintainer David Howells.

The SoC product line apparently is apparently still around in the form
of the Socionext Milbeaut image processor, but this one no longer uses
the FRV CPU cores.

This removes all FRV specific files from the kernel.
