If so, maybe pxa support in the kernel should be removed all together, as people playing with it loose part of the working DT platforms they had. As for the removal of defconfigs and arch-pxa, sure, this was PXA's destiny. Cheers. -- Robert PS: If this mail is sent twice, sorry in advance, my mailer is a bad mood lately.

So was the a97 part, providing a framework to make the wm9713 work. So I'm wondering how the choice to chop these drivers was done, and it is necessary to remove them. If so, maybe pxa support in the kernel should be removed all together, as people playing with it loose part of the working DT platforms they had.
