The problem is that if it isn't accepted now, nobody is likely to remember that it is available, and so they will have to re-write it. Also, it will suffer from bit-rot, if just left as a loose patch.
Full ack from me on this.
I agree - but what is a dead driver without users good for?
What was it written for? ... obviously for some specific application on some real board. I recommend to submit this driver as part of the patch series that adds this board support to U-Boot. Then we will also have at least one real user of that code, i. e. we can make sure that it at least compiles.
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
