Subject: Is drivers/net/wan/lmc dead?

Hi!

The driver for LAN Media WAN interfaces spews build warnings on
microblaze.

CCing usual suspects and people mentioned as authors in the source code.

As far as I can tell it has no maintainer.

It has also received not received a single functional change that'd
indicate someone owns this HW since the beginning of the git era.

Can we remove this driver or should we invest effort into fixing it?
