Mark i40iw as deprecated/obsolete.

irdma is the replacement driver that supports X722.

Can you simply delete old one and add MODULE_ALIAS() in new
driver?

Yes, but we thought typically driver has to be deprecated for a
few cycles

before removing it.

If you completely replace it with something that works the same, why
keep the old
one around at all?

Agree. Thanks!

Unless you don't trust your new code?  :)

We do :)
