[PATCH v2 14/19] ARM: mark mach-sa1100 as deprecated

[Arnd Bergmann]

From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd at arndb.de>

Most of the old StrongARM1100 machines were removed two years ago as part
of a wider cleanup, the remaining four were left either because someone
showed interest in converting them to devicetree, or because they were
still supported by qemu and therefore useful to keep the platform alive.

None of the devicetree conversion actually happened, and qemu has
marked the platform as deprecated, so do the same in the kernel now.

If anyone is still running one of these four machines and planning
to keep updating their kernels, please speak up now so we can adapt
the plans as needed.

If nobody is found using StrongARM1100 any more, it can be removing
during 2027, leaving 6.12-LTS as the last longterm support kernel
for it.
