This architecture is becoming a burden :/

Last blackfin pull request was in June 2014 by Steven Miao.

Steven, what's up with this? I don't mind the arch/blackfin as much
as the plethora of boardfiles that need to be maintained as soon as
we change some platform data or so, and it's just a mystery whether
things really get tested and any of the changes made here since 2014
are screwing up the blackfin. No ACKs or Tested-by's ever appear.

Is there active testing of mainline with blackfin?

Yours,
Linus Walleij
