Agreed, as long as oxnas and/or cns3xxx are around, we should just keep
the realview 11mpcore support, but if both of the commercial platforms
are gone, then the realview can be retired as far as I'm concerned.
Regarding oxnas, I see that OpenWRT has a number of essential
device drivers (sata, pcie, usb and reset) that look like they could just
be merged upstream, but that effort appears to have stalled: no
device support was added to the dts files since the original 2016
merge. While the support in OpenWRT may be excellent, the platform
support in the mainline kernel is limited to ethernet, nand, uart
and gpio.
