Well, as long as the driver lives in drivers/hwmon and the hwmon
subsystem is maintained, it seems fair to consider the driver
maintained.

That being said, I indeed would like all non-hwmon drivers to go away
from drivers/hwmon. Originally we were waiting for iio to settle first,
but apparently this is taking forever. The 4 drivers I would like to
kick are: ams, hdaps, lis3lv02d and applesmc. They are primarily
accelerometer device drivers. Not sure where to put them,
drivers/accel(erometer), drivers/misc, drivers/misc/accel(erometer),
drivers/input/accel(erometer)... Opinions welcome.
