Hi Lukas,

Thank you for your mail. 

After having our team's internal discussion, unfortunately it is decided that Thunder Bay project will be suspended for time being. 

We will submit patches for reverting the changes specific to Thunder Bay in a couple of weeks. 

Thanks for your support. 

Thanks & Regards,
Kenchappa S. D.

Subject: Thunder Bay architecture still relevant?

Dear Kenchappa Demakkanavar,

you submitted initial support for a new Intel Movidius SoC code-named Thunder Bay, along with a number of drivers for that architecture.

The drivers are included in the repository, but refer to the ARCH_THUNDERBAY support to even enable them.

The last state I see on architecture support is your submission:

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-kernel/1631771898-18702-1-git-send-email-kenchappa.demakkanavar@intel.com/

However, since then there seems nobody further pushing to include this architecture. Is this architecture still relevant or has it been abandoned?

If it is abandoned, we should also remove the drivers again as far as I can tell.

Best regards,

Lukas
