Pulled into next/cleanup.
I found the text a little short to justify a removal, but since I know
the story, I've extended the narrative a bit, I hope this text is
ok with you:
[arnd: The sh7372 platform is rather dated and is believed to
have no active users. It stands in the way of converting all
of mach-shmobile to be multiplatform capable, as adding
pinctrl and clock support for it would be more work than it's
worth. As always, should any legitimate upstream users show up
in the future, we will revert this removal]
It would be nice to have more text in the tag description for cases that
are not obvious to the reader, like this one.
