I just noticed this patch got marked as "Deferred, archived" in
patchwork.  I'm not entirely sure by whom and why?  Could someone
explain what is the issue?  I would really appreciate if we could 
merge this patch and have this driver not break builds randomly...

It's an indication that the patch sat around without any reviews for way
too long.

People generally don't go chasing around in their mail archives for
several week old patches to review. The best thing to do for patches I
mark as deferred is to resubmit them so they get back on people's radar.

OK, I will repost then.  Thanks for the explanation!  I hope someone
will find time to review, the driver is a bit old :)
