Heck, we can just leave it on for sandbox *but* that does mean someone
needs to step up to maintain the driver part. The report is at
https://lore.kernel.org/u-boot/20250725132645.GA1807455@bill-the-cat/
and it's that there's some dead code. It's also been not quite 3 years
since the last "real" change made to the driver by you, so are there any
other general fixes / improvements that should be upstreamed? Thanks!
