I didn't know it was being removed.  My expectation is that we'll
probably keep merging patches until it's actually removed.  It's sometimes
easier to just merge easy uncontroversial things without trying to track
everything happening in the kernel.  We should obviously delete the driver
as soon as the other patch is merged.
