Do you have this hardware?  If so, we can add the driver, but given that
I did not think the chip ever actually shipped, it didn't make much
sense.

Do you want to drop it as it is causing problems for you?  It's a good
example driver for those wanting to create a greybus host controller
driver so it's nice to have in the tree, unless you have a different one
that should be merged instead?
