Well, I'd expect the maintainers of that thing to move:

./scripts/get_maintainer.pl -f drivers/cdx/
Nipun Gupta <nipun.gupta@....com> (maintainer:AMD CDX BUS DRIVER)
Nikhil Agarwal <nikhil.agarwal@....com> (maintainer:AMD CDX BUS DRIVER)

and maintain.

Perhaps ping them on internal chat to catch their attention.

Thx.
