From: Arnd Bergmann <[email protected]> Only one machine remains supported and was kept in 2022 for the Debian_on_Buffalo project that was still using this, with plans to convert it to devicetree. The conversion never happened, and Debian_on_Buffalo does not provide kernels later than linux-6.1, so it is unlikely to still be useful for a DT conversion in the future. Mark the platform for deprecation after the next LTS kernel, which should give any remaining users a few more years of bugfixes.
