I could not find any user-space applications that depend on this driver.

I was looking for any users of this driver on the linux-kernel, linux-staging,
and linux-arm-kernel mailing lists as well as Jacob Feder, and received no
replies since I posted it 1 day ago. If someone is using it or maintaining a
proprietary app, they will complain and we can bring the driver back.

Will add it in v2.

Either way, let's wait for Ovidiu to reply if he is still active, or for anyone
on the mailing list who might be using this.
