Yes, this is what I understand, too.

You are changing the code  for  all  these  boards  that  don't  even
compile  because  files  are missing to have new, updated boards that
don't even compile because files are missing I ask.

I ask if it would not make more sense to remove all this code and drop
support for these nun-working boards, especially since nobody cares to
fix them.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
