Exactly, but right now we do have legacy and legacy should work in order to
help for example Luca to make the final push which allows us to move to DT
only for OMAP4.

IMHO we should keep these boards working as long as we have the legacy board
support for them.

So what is the policy now regarding to 'old' legacy but still used OMAP4 board
files? I think we should still maintain them, but the effort to get rid of
them should be the highest priority.
