Sounds good, thanks.

It would be nice if it could stay where it is for organization but go
through other maintainers trees (though I'm not sure who). I understand
why you wouldn't want to take on the maintenance of it. Hopefully,
myself and the other Microsemi developers will be able to do the bulk of
the maintenance work for the driver.

Thanks,
