Sorry Tom, could you try harder to explain the reason, please? How many
boards are there in the upstream OE repository depending on this and
would have to be changed? I think Florian could commit that with his
clean up easily.

On the other side developers opposing this clean up could at least offer
to add a comment to the file with a proposed work around for people
hitting this issue. Still there should be a good reason. Like all your
internal TI projects depend on this for example.


Thanks,

Paul
