The maple platform was added in 2004 [1], to support the "Maple" 970FX
evaluation board.

It was later used for IBM JS20/JS21 machines, as well as the Bimini
machine, aka "Yellow Dog Powerstation".

Sadly all those machines have passed into memory, and there's been no
evidence for years that anyone is still using any of them.

Remove the platform and related code. It can always be reinstated if
there's interest.

Note that this has no impact on support for 970FX based Power Macs.

<content type='text'>
The DT of_device.h and of_platform.h date back to the separate
of_platform_bus_type before it as merged into the regular platform bus.
As part of that merge prepping Arm DT support 13 years ago, they
"temporarily" include each other. They also include platform_device.h
and of.h. As a result, there's a pretty much random mix of those include
files used throughout the tree. In order to detangle these headers and
replace the implicit includes with struct declarations, users need to
explicitly include the correct includes.

ppc_md.calibrate_decr() is a mandatory item. Its nullity is never
checked so it must be non null on all platforms.

Most platforms define generic_calibrate_decr() as their
ppc_md.calibrate_decr(). Have time_init() call
generic_calibrate_decr() when ppc_md.calibrate_decr() is NULL,
and remove default assignment from all machines.

<title>powerpc/rtas: arch-wide function token lookup conversions</title>

<content type='text'>
With the tokens for all implemented RTAS functions now available via
rtas_function_token(), which is optimal and safe for arbitrary
contexts, there is no need to use rtas_token() or cache its result.

Most conversions are trivial, but a few are worth describing in more
detail:

* Error injection token comparisons for lockdown purposes are
  consolidated into a simple predicate: token_is_restricted_errinjct().

* A couple of special cases in block_rtas_call() do not use
  rtas_token() but perform string comparisons against names in the
  function table. These are converted to compare against token values
  instead, which is logically equivalent but less expensive.

* The lookup for the ibm,os-term token can be deferred until needed,
  instead of caching it at boot to avoid device tree traversal during
  panic.

* Since rtas_function_token() accesses a read-only data structure
  without taking any locks, xmon's lookup of set-indicator can be
  performed as needed instead of cached at startup.
