Hi Manish,
Just curious, what would be the reason to keep the platform alive for 2 release cycles? I have one Tegra platform that needs to be deprecated and so would like to understand the thought process.

Hi,
The purpose of the email is to notify about deprecation of sgm775 platform and proposed process for deprecating a platform.
Arm's System Guidance for Mobile(SGM-775) is an old platform and no longer maintained. It is superseded by Total Compute(tc0) platform.
Proposal for deprecating a platform: 1. Keep the code in repository. (at least for 2 release cycles) 2. Don't allow it to be built by default. (introducing PLATFORM_DEPRECATED build macro) 3. Disable CI testing. 4. Create appropriate documentation for deprecated platforms.
Let me know if you have any suggestions.
Thanks Manish P
