The following are changes across a number of patches, or changes worth noting, but not needing a full description.
According to the author of the mainboard scaleway/tagada, the mainboard is not used anymore. Since the mainboard is not publicly available for purchase and not used anywhere else, the usual deprecation process of 6 months is not needed.
Thus, to reduce the maintenance overhead for the community, support for the following components will be removed from the master branch and will be maintained on the release 4.19 branch.
The SoC Intel Quark is unmaintained and different efforts to revive it have so far failed. The only user of this SoC ever was the Galileo board.
Thus, to reduce the maintanence overhead for the community, support for the following components will be removed from the master branch and will be maintained on the release 4.20 branch.
