Seconded.  That's what a merge window is for, isn't it? :)

One should do some further simple text searching to find more code that
can now be potentially be removed.  For example, from what I wrote
board/inka4x0/inkadiag.c also has such reloacted code inside.

While  the list of  different methods is not  endless, it is certainly
pretty long, with new ones being dreamed up all the time. Fortunately,
space limitations prevent us from looking at all of them.
