I will queue it. But I think it needs a follow up to result in something
consistent with KConfig. So either deprecate or delete PARPORT. I can queue the
deprecate patch and delete in 6.4, even though I share Jen's opinion to simply
delete directly. I am still fine either way.

Jens,

If you are OK with that, can I get your ack for the deprecate patch ? Unless you
prefer taking it through the block tree. Either way is fine with me.
