I've never heard of it, and I have no idea how to test it.
It's not used by qemu, I guess there is/was a Freescale hypervisor that
used it.
Yes, there is/was a Freescale hypervisor that I and a few others worked
on. I've added a couple people on CC that might be able to tell the
current disposition of it.
More info on this: it's opensource and it's published here [1]. We still
claim to maintain it but there wasn't much activity past years, as one
might notice.

But maybe it's time to remove it if it's not being maintained/used by
anyone?
I wouldn't be completely opposed to that if there really are no more
users. There really weren't any users even when I wrote the driver.
There are a few users that I know of, but I can't tell if that's enough
to justify keeping the driver.
It is, I don't want to remove code that people are actually using,
unless it's causing unsustainable maintenance burden.
But this should be easy enough to get fixed.
Right. I see that Stephen already came up with a proposal for a fix.
Could you or someone else at NXP volunteer to maintain this driver? That
shouldn't involve much work, other than fixing small things like this
warning.
I can offer myself. I'll send a MAINTAINERS patch if nobody is against it.
