for me it is. But now we probaly need some reverts then...

I wonder whether you have seen my mail about the removal

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mips/20201207105627.GA15866@alpha.franken.de

and my call for people owning MIPS machines

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mips/20200227144910.GA25011@alpha.franken.de/

Still "unclaimed" machines are

IMG Pistachio SoC based boards (MACH_PISTACHIO(
Toshiba TX39 series based machines (MACH_TX39XX)
NEC VR4100 series based machines (MACH_VR41XX)
Netlogic XLR/XLS based systems (NLM_XLR_BOARD)
Netlogic XLP based systems (NLM_XLP_BOARD)
Sibyte BCM91120C-CRhine (SIBYTE_CRHINE)
Sibyte BCM91120x-Carmel (SIBYTE_CARMEL)
Sibyte BCM91125C-CRhone (SIBYTE_CRHONE)
Sibyte BCM91125E-Rhone (SIBYTE_RHONE)
Sibyte BCM91250C2-LittleSur (SIBYTE_LITTLESUR)
Sibyte BCM91250E-Sentosa (SIBYTE_SENTOSA)

Is there something on this list you also regulary use ?

Thomas.
