cxl: Remove driver

2025-03-16T11:04:27Z

Remove the cxl driver that provides support for the IBM Coherent Accelerator Processor Interface. Revert or clean up associated code in arch/powerpc that is no longer necessary. cxl has received minimal maintenance for several years, and is not supported on the Power10 processor. We aren't aware of any users who are likely to be using recent kernels. Thanks to Mikey Neuling, Ian Munsie, Daniel Axtens, Frederic Barrat, Christophe Lombard, Philippe Bergheaud, Vaibhav Jain and Alastair D'Silva for their work on this driver over the years.

cxl: Fix cross-reference in documentation and add deprecation warning

2025-02-19T08:03:58Z

commit 5731d41af924 ("cxl: Deprecate driver") labelled the cxl driver as deprecated and moved the ABI documentation to the obsolete/ subdirectory, but didn't update cxl.rst, causing a warning once ff7ff6eb4f809 ("docs: media: Allow creating cross-references for RC ABI") was merged. Fix the cross-reference, and also add a deprecation warning.

powerpc/64: Remove maple platform

2024-10-29T12:01:52Z

The maple platform was added in 2004 [1], to support the "Maple" 970FX evaluation board. It was later used for IBM JS20/JS21 machines, as well as the Bimini machine, aka "Yellow Dog Powerstation". Sadly all those machines have passed into memory, and there's been no evidence for years that anyone is still using any of them. Remove the platform and related code. It can always be reinstated if there's interest. Note that this has no impact on support for 970FX based Power Macs.
