Sebastian,

I'm picking on this discussion, with a new Subject.

Well, I'm not sure if I'm following you. Many drivers currently depend
on PLAT_ORION, so if we remove PLAT_ORION from ARCH_MVEBU we would have
to replace: s/PLAT_ORION/ARCH_{MVEBU, KIRKWOOD, DOVE, ...}.

Is this the suggested roadmap or I've completely misunderstood it?
