Subject: Thunder Bay architecture still relevant?

Dear Kenchappa Demakkanavar,

you submitted initial support for a new Intel Movidius SoC code-named
Thunder Bay, along with a number of drivers for that architecture.

The drivers are included in the repository, but refer to the
ARCH_THUNDERBAY support to even enable them.

The last state I see on architecture support is your submission:

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-kernel/1631771898-18702-1-git-send-email-kenchappa.demakkanavar@intel.com/

However, since then there seems nobody further pushing to include this
architecture. Is this architecture still relevant or has it been
abandoned?

If it is abandoned, we should also remove the drivers again as far as
I can tell.

Best regards,

Lukas
