    rb532: drop target · 94198e2a
    Adrian Schmutzler authored
    This target is still on kernel 4.14, and recent attempts to move it to
    kernel 5.4 have not led to success. The device tester reported that it
    wouldn't boot with the following messages:
    
    From sysupgrade:
    
      Press any key within 4 seconds to enter setup....
      loading kernel from nand... OK
      setting up elf image... OK
      jumping to kernel code
    
    At this point the system hangs.
    
    From CompactFlash:
    
      Press any key within 4 seconds to enter setup....
      Booting CF
      Loading kernel... done
      setting up elf image... kernel out of range kernel loading failed
    
    The tester reported that the same was observed with current master
    (kernel 4.14) as well. This looks like some kernel size restriction.
    
    Since this target is quite old and only supports one device, and since
    nobody else seemed interested in working on this for quite some time,
    I decided to not put further work into analyzing the problem and drop
    this together with the other 4.14-only targets.
