This looks good to me, thanks for cleaning this up! I think Geert has this
hardware, adding him to Cc in case he wants to give it a spin.

The SPI controller is only present on TX4938, not on TX4927, so it is
unused on my rbtx4927 board.

Probably all of this can be removed, given the SPI controller driver
itself was removed in commit 74523a5dae0c96d6 ("spi: txx9: Remove
driver")?

Okay, who will send a patch?

P.S. I'm not a MIPS expert, I feel I'm not the right person to do,
but I can try my best.

are you ok with completly removing rbtx4938 support ? Can I rbtx4939
board support, too ?

Fine for me, I only have rbtx4927.

BTW, I'm using it in 32-bit mode, as the VxWorks bootloader cannot boot
64-bit images. Are there other boards with such a limitation? Perhaps
there's even shim support for booting 64-bit kernels on such boards,
so I can test both 32-bit and 64-bit kernels?

Thanks!

maybe BOOT_ELF32 could help here.

Yes it does, thanks a lot for the suggestion! Patch sent.

Took me a bit to test proper operation, as contemporary cross-toolchains
create userland binaries that can no longer run on MIPS-II/III CPUs,
and native development is slow and memory-constrained (dpkg OOM)...

Is there any news? I still see my patch well applied against latest Linux Next.
If the removal is going to be postponed, consider applying this patch then. So
we may move forward.

The second patch in that series touches drivers/mtd so I'm waiting for
a Acked-by. But I could apply the first patch...

I've applied it, should show up in linux-next soon.

You mean cross-toolchains included with (some) distributions, right?

I do hope so or otherwise I'd be very concerned. Myself I've been using
a self-built MIPS cross-compiler, running on POWER9, which builds MIPS I
binaries just fine, e.g.:

$ file install/usr/sysroot/{lib/ld-2.32.9000.so,usr/bin/gdbserver}
install/usr/sysroot/lib/ld-2.32.9000.so: ELF 32-bit LSB pie executable, MIPS, MIPS-I version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, with debug_info, not stripped
install/usr/sysroot/usr/bin/gdbserver: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, MIPS, MIPS-I version 1 (GNU/Linux), dynamically linked, interpreter /lib/ld.so.1, for GNU/Linux 3.2.0, not stripped
$ install/usr/bin/mipsel-linux-gnu-gcc -dumpversion
11.0.0
$

(time to upgrade perhaps).

Yep, the MIPS cross-toolchain that comes with Ubuntu.

Debian raised the minimum requirements for MIPS, hence mine are
ELF 32-bit MSB shared object, MIPS, MIPS32 rel2 version 1 (SYSV)
