Even better! Looking forward to your patch :-) Thomas

While Linux host support makes sense for code removal, guest support isn't relevant IMHO. I.e. you can still run U-boot or any guest code you fancy, like my-first-rtos. (I noticed Peter want a more generic removal)

Support for these boards has been removed from the Linux kernel in version 6.3 in 2023, so there are likely no users left for these boards. Time to mark them as deprecated in QEMU, too!
