Agreed. From
https://lore.kernel.org/all/[email protected]/:
"ARM: mark RiscPC as deprecated [ ... ] Since there is little hope of
this being maintainable much longer, plan to remove it in early 2025
while it is still expected to mostly work."

Arnd, is removal of Acorn RiscPC still planned? That platform relies on
several SCSI drivers. API changes for the SCSI core, although rare,
would be easier if we wouldn't have to support the Acorn RiscPC anymore.

Thanks,

Bart.
