I would like to get your feedback regarding the status of the Samsung SMDK6400
board:
 - It is not in boards.cfg, so, according to commit 1285a28, support for it
   should already have been removed a long time ago. It also seems to be the
   only board remaining in the main Makefile.
 - It uses the deprecated NAND SPL.
 - MAKEALL does not test its build, which has been broken for a while.
 - If it were removed or fixed, ARM1176's start.S' relocate_code() could be made
   identical to all the other implementations of this function, so all this
   duplicated code could be moved to a common location like crt0.S. Besides
   that, it would be possible to completely get rid of the legacy NAND SPL on
   ARM.

I have no intention of fixing this board, but dropping it and cleaning up ARM
after that would be easy.

Best regards,
Benoît

Cc:ing the board maintainers, as they should be the first ones to be
asked whether they intend to bring the board into boards.cfg and fix
it, or whether it should be dropped.

Scratch this: correct maintainer CC:ed now (how about changing the
MAINTAINERS file format so that we can tell for sure without having to 
ceck the first entry?)

Yes, I had already Cc'ed Zhong.

That would be good. E.g., a colon could be added after the last e-mail address
of each group of board maintainers, or the empty line between the e-mail
addresses and the boards could be removed.

Adding Mike to Cc as he had been assigned the board migration job to boards.cfg,
due for v2012.03. Perhaps he got some information from the SMDK6400 maintainer.

I'm in favor of removing and updating README.scrapyard, baring quick
attention from the maintainer to update it to not being using the
Makefile and fix the rest of the breakage.

OK. The s3c64xx SoC and all the drivers coming with it then become unused.
Should this be removed too? There may be out-of-tree users of this SoC.

Yes, it's what the scrapyard is for.  If an out-of-tree user exists
they can either support the reference board (and bring it back from
the dead) or their own board.
