The CSR SiRF prima2/atlas platforms are getting removed, so this driver
is no longer needed.
Should this platform really be removed?

While I followed the removal thread just a little,
isn't prima still in use in various GPS handhelds?
I'm not aware of anyone running mainline Linux on those, as I said
in the platform removal patch[1] description, there have not been any
contributions to third-party machine support, the only boards that
ever booted a mainline kernel were the evaluation boards.

If you have any information on hobbyist users of this platform, let
me know.
