Subject: Removal of MSC-5000/5080 touchscreen/touchkey drivers?

Hi,

Sorry for a somewhat wide and random distribution, but I was wondering
if anyone knows if drivers/input/touchscreen/mcs5000_ts.c and
drivers/input/keyboard/mcs_touchkey.c are still relevant these days?

Looking at Melfas web-site it looks like these were the 1st generation
of their chips, manufactured 2000-2007. The drivers were contributed by
Samsung long time ago, they rely on custom platform data (no DT support)
and as far as I can see we never had a user of them in mainline.

Should I simply remove them? Does anyone know?

Thanks.
