Ok. But while that might mean that no new designs should use LL TEMAC
IP, why do we need to declare the driver for it obsolete?

Existing designs using LL TEMAC IP might need to upgrade Linux kernel
also.

If you want to take responsibility for keeping that driver alive then feel free to send a patch on the top and declare it publicly. We are not able to test it on these old platforms that's why we are publicly saying that it is end of us.

Thanks,
