Hence changing the status to Orphan. Signed-off-by: Arend van Spriel --- When joining Broadcom 13 years ago and assigned to work on upstreaming our wifi drivers it was a fun job. Getting it in shape to remedy John Linville's eye-ball cancer from the first look at it and adding stuff after getting it out of staging with Greg's blessing. Setting up a Jenkins CI rig to nightly test the chips we support. Refactoring the driver to pave the road for new features. Those days it was backed up by the company because there were paying customers demanding it. When that support ended I decided to hang on and play my role as a maintainer because I cared and could not let go. That was probably a mistake from which I can only learn. Hopefully I can stay involved as a valued reviewer, but I somehow doubt that. Too much emotions stir that I need to vent, but it would only put more oil on this stupid flame war.
