Could you ACK that patch, please?

That's good to hear.

This is not something I get to decide. Nevertheless, given that this
file shouldn't have been merged to begin with, I'd appreciate it if some
deadline could be agreed upon.

That being said, I'm not sure how having just this file in mainline
helps your development efforts. It seems it did receive some updates
for, well, treewide stuff. But it surely didn't get build coverage or
runtime testing. So would you lose much if it only remains in your
development tree?
