Indeed I guess I should move it all under the IXP4xx platform
simply.

Also Deepak is still listed as maintainer of the RNG
which is inside the NPE, I think he has basically retired
from maintenance as well because I think he mentioned that
he got rid of his IXP4xx hardware.

Are they supported by the DTS files I created?

Could you group the network and the RNG (which is just below it
in MAINTAINERS) under the architecture (where you are BTW
still listed).

The devices mostly "just work" now though so if you touch them
I bet they will come online nicely. This fork of OpenWrt has all
that's needed to bring up devices:
