This sounds fine to me - missing additions to the device list are welcome.
1. remove EOL devices>
I don't think there is value in removing definitions for EOL devices, as
the cost of maintenance is effectively zero.
If there are EOL features (that is, a feature that is only implemented on
old EOL devices and no current), then there may be value in removing said
feature and the logic that drives it, but it should be done on a
case-by-case basis. The maintenance burden lies within the implementation
of the actual old-chip features, not the TableGen definitions that enable
particular old-chip features for particular old-chips, for example.
