The downstream kernel was maintained by Intel up to linux-5.15 when the product line was discontinued. Known users include Nokia and Ericsson, but both of them use kernels derived from the out-of-tree drivers rather than the upstream version, and will be able to continue doing that even when the rudimentary mainline support is gone. Mark it as deprecated for removal after the next LTS kernel.
