For dropping the remaining omap3 legacy boot support, we still have the following board-*.c files:

BOARD                   REASON NEEDED
board-ldp.c             Still used in RMKs boot test system
board-omap3logic.c      Getting a .dts file for v4.2
board-omap3pandora.c    Got a .dts file for v4.1
board-rx51-*.c          Needs /proc/atags support for user space

I'm hoping we can drop those for v4.3 merge window, then keep the platform data around for one more merge window in case of reverting needed, then drop the platform data too for v4.4 if no issues needing reverting are found.

Sounds great. Has there been a conclusion about what to do for the rx51 /proc/atags support?

I believe we just need to enable /proc/atags also for device tree based booting if CONFIG_ARM_ATAG_DTB_COMPAT. Pali may have more info on that.

Then looks like Pali's two patches for showing the revision are still pending in thread "[PATCH v2 0/2] ARM: /proc/cpuinfo: DT:
Add support for Revision":

I think I already sent all need patches to ML. But I did not check if you merged them or not. I did not get any new comments for them for a while and right now I do not have time for looking at it again.

I'm against removing board-rx51*.c files before /proc/cpuinfo and /proc/atags will be available also for DT booted machine...

Plus there were some other regression for DT booted N900 (not only /proc files), but I do not remember them now. I sent more emails where I wrote it. Maybe it is fixed, maybe not, just search into archive for my emails.

I can try to find some time at the weekend (this or next) to test 4.1-rc* kernel on N900 and report what is working...

Thanks!
