I'd prefer to see if exynos4 and 5 were kept common here, and both transitioned
at the same time. Especially since there are no legacy boards for exynos5, it
would mean you could have a very clean transition there. What's the plan to
follow up with 5?

What are the plans to remove legacy board files on exynos4 at this time
and switch them to DT-only? You could do it gradually like Stephen Warren
did on Tegra, with hooks that call out to some of the legacy code, but
configure the board through device tree and do away with the classic
machine descriptors, etc.
