So, as long as they are not painful, let's keep them?
The one reason I can think of for removing them is that we don't want ambient light sensor drivers in drivers/misc any more and instead of adding DT probing code would also expect new users to migrate to drivers/iio/light/, which already has drivers for apds9300 and apds9960 but not apds990x, as well as bh1750 and bh1780 but not bh1770.
