 Olimex still sell rt5350 board (those two are quite the same SoC) :
 https://www.olimex.com/Products/OLinuXino/RT5350F/RT5350F-OLinuXino/open-source-hardware

 I did port FreeBSD on it almost three years ago
(https://www.bidouilliste.com/blog/2015/07/22/FreeBSD-on-Olimex-RT5350F-OLinuXino/
) but I don't remember if any of my code when into the tree but we have
support from it based on the work from sgalabov@

 It doesn't mean I've objecting to the removal, I have no interest in
mips and I don't even know the actual support on it.
