Nice try. All I did there was converting the existing code to new interfaces and to use SPDX identifiers. You touched it last, you own it, is not really working.
TBH. I have no clue what that is except that it's bitrotting.

So why not removing this whole entry. arch/x86/platform/sfi is already covered by x86 and the driver cruft falls back to the people who are used to deal with dead drivers anyway.
