    I would generally consider drivers dead when they have no DT support
    and no platform in the upstream kernel registering the corresponding
    device.

    If anyone still uses this driver on SH-Mobile or R-Mobile, they
    have clearly given up on upstreaming their patches by now, and
    they can carry the burden of maintaining the driver out of tree,
    or re-submit a working version.
