    powerpc: drop MPC832x_MDS platform support · b8fa3af2
    Paul Gortmaker authored
    This final variant in the e300 family of Modular Development System
    (MDS) in this series was actually aimed at feature reduction - things
    like floating point and ethernet were removed in order to make for a
    lower power and lower cost system.
    
    Like all the MDS systems, it was meant as a vehicle to get the CPU out
    early to hardware OEMs so software and board development could take place
    in parallel.
    
    These were made in limited numbers and availability preference was given
    to partners who were planning to make their own boards.
    
    Given that the whole reason for existence was to assist in enabling new
    board designs [not happening for 10+ years], and that they weren't
    generally available, and that the hardware wasn't really hobbyist friendly
    even for retro computing, it makes sense to retire the support for this
    particular platform.
