I'm in the middle of sending out the patch series that removes
most of the legacy board files:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/soc/soc.git/log/?h=boardfile-remove

TS78xx actually stays for now because this is one of the
machines enabled in the debian armel tree, but my hope is
for the remaining 27 board files, we can either complete
the DT conversion or just remove them in the future.

Aside from the FPGA, this machine should be fairly easy to
convert, so I agree we should try doing this first. Not
sure how the FPGA is best represented, but I'm sure we can come
up with something once the rest of the system is working
with DT.
