Subject: of lnbh29 and lgs8gl5

Hi,
  One of my scripts noticed that lgs8gl5_attach and lnbh29_attach
aren't called anywhere; that makes me suspicious whether any of the
code in those drivers can be called at all?

  From what I can tell in git history, lgs8gl5_attach last use
was removed by:

6bf1a997ed13 ("V4L/DVB (12423): cxusb, d680 dmbth use unified lgs8gxx
code instead of lgs8gl5")
way back in 2009

lnbh29_attach was added in 2018 by
1b09dd9ff8a5 ("media: dvb-frontends: add LNBH29 LNB supply driver")
but doesn't look like it was used.

Am I missing some other route to these, or are they dead?

Dave
