With all due respect, dropping support for the majority of AMD boards
Dropping support for hardware has never been the primary purpose of deprecation plans,
I think the difference is unimportantly subtle; deprecation is formal intent to (eventually) drop.
I'll try to make it clearer: Dropping support FOR HARDWARE has never been the primary purpose of deprecation plans
The primary goal, as seen in the title, is to remove LEGACY_SMP_INIT and RESOURCE_ALLOCATOR_V3.
One purpose of announcements like the one by Arthur is to start a discussion how to get there while ideally NOT dropping the devices that would be affected (as listed in the original email).
I'll leave the rest of the email uncommented because it's only derailing matters even more.
