What platforms stop working after this removal? Are you sure no-one is using them? I wouldn't be keen on breaking Janet's PC that she's been using daily and keeping up-to-date since the 90's.

All of them were supported by Android and Janet won't update her phone or even Android tablet for sure they never ever run any kind of Linux than Android.

So, I hope you are satisfied and we may proceed with removal.

Speaking of which, the patches here are requisite for SFI support removal, so I'd like to route them through the ACPI tree if that's fine by all of the interested parties. Thanks!

Shouldn't cause too much disruption. Ack provided.

Thanks! This series has been applied as 5.12 material and will show up in linux-next on Friday if all goes well. I can export an immutable branch with these commits if need be, in which case please let me know. Andy, please proceed with the SFI support removal submission.

I guess it makes sense just in case of a formal pinning, but if SFI will go through your tree, the only potential consumer will be that tree. > Andy, please proceed with the SFI support removal submission. Will do, thanks all!
