Meta:
Roadmap id: CARD-114
Headline: the <mach/*> and <plat/*> namespaces for Exynos platforms were depopulated
Acceptance: accepted into arm-soc.git with no headers left that are included by device drivers for the Arndale board

[thomas-ab 2013-01-07] Four other drivers to be DT converted first before being able to progress
[jakub-pavelek 2013-03-25] Slow progress, big backlog. Do we need help?

[arnd-arndb-de 2013-05-08] all device drivers are done as of bb9055b2744ada735a2fe555c4196ad39a83ef2a, with the exception of cpufreq, devfreq, adc and sound. The gpio driver is no longer used on exynos.

[jakub-pavelek 2013-05-10] Moving from 3.10 to 3.11 for completion. Thanks for the update, please re-check the work items to be still valid and needed.

[jakub-pavelek 2013-07-01] As this is the only platform (that we really care about) not finished we will move it to follow-up work.
