Hi,
cyttsp4 touchscreen driver was contributed by Cypress in 2013 and since
then has seen no updates. The driver uses platform data (no device tree
support) and there are no users of it in the mainline kernel. There were
occasional fixes to it for issues either found by static ocde analysis
tools or visual inspection, but otherwise the driver is completely
untested.
Should it be removed?
Thanks.

Sound like a good reason to drop it. If anyone needs it back it can be
reverted and fixed up easily then.
thanks,

I contributed that driver because was working at the time on upstreaming
support for the OMAP3 Nook Color eReader from Barnes & Noble, but never
made that much progress on it. And even though I still have that tablet,
it has been in a box for more than a decade so unlikely I'll ever do it.
