I was surprised to see that someone was using this driver in 2015, so
I'm not sure anymore what to do. Of course we could still just remove
it and later revert if someone steps up and claims the driver is still
usable. Hmm. Does anyone any users of this driver?

What about moving the driver over into staging, which is generally the
way I understood to move a driver slowly out of the kernel?

I always thought Staging was used for *incoming* drivers?

Either way, Staging is on my hit list.  It's actually next after Net.

Is there a Kconfig symbol that can be used to not include it in the
standard builds?  I'm aware of BROKEN.  Is there anything more
suitable for a deprecated driver (I don't see a DEPRECATED symbol).
