Don't know much about driver maintenance but if it is working why remove it?
What I read in the link was that it was removed because LLM was making suggestions to improve the code/bring it up to modern standards but since it was rarely used no-one wanted to review it not that it was buggy.
>In recent months we have seen a lot of old kernel code removed stemming from that AI/LLM noise.
This is the opposite of what my parent was hoping to see, extended support for old/obscure hardware because we have LLM.
