Most of the remaining arm board files in the kernel are unused and will be removed in early 2023 if no users step up. So far I got no user replies about the orion5x and mv78xx0 machines, but these are still supported in the default kernel of the Debian 'armel' (armv5 softfloat) distro, and there is an active project on github that tries to keep some of these machines working, and Mauri Sandberg is working on a DT conversion for the D-Link DNS-323. It appears the Debian-on-Buffalo project has not got the Terastation WXL working in a few years, and the other mv78xx0 machines are just the reference designs, so I assume none of these have remaining users. For the Orion5x family, the same is probably true for its reference implementations (RD88Fxxxxx, DB88F281) and the machines with less than 64MB of memory (WNR854T, WRT350N v2). The remaining nine machines are now scheduled to be kept for at least 2023, hopefully to be replaced with DT based versions. The mv78xx0_defconfig file needs to enable CONFIG_UNUSED_BOARD_FILES to still build, while the other affected defconfig files lose the specific boards.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
