Agreed.  Thomas, do you think you'll be able to get a definitive answer
from Marvell re the number of Z1 boards in the wild?  Once they've moved
to the A0, of course.

Unless we can get a hard answer on that, I doubt we'll ever withdraw
support for the Z1.  Not that that's a bad thing, just trying to be
realistic.  If we add code, expect to support it.

And keeping it all in one place is kind of an impossibility.  Just for
thermal Z1, there are changes to the binding docs, the thermal driver,
and the soc code.

I'd say it's more important to keep it clean, with dts files targeting
the A0+ SoCs, and the Z1 being the exception case(s).

thx,

Jason.
