This driver in mainline lost its in-tree user with commit cd93b4895ea5
("MIPS: lantiq: drop mips_machine support") in 2012. Since then it has
had no in-tree user. Only user seems to be OpenWRT, with several changes
to the in-tree driver version:
target/linux/lantiq/patches-6.12/035-owrt-lantiq-wifi-and-ethernet-eeprom-handling.patch
target/linux/lantiq/patches-6.12/028-NET-lantiq-various-etop-fixes.patch
target/linux/lantiq/patches-6.12/701-NET-lantiq-etop-of-mido.patch
So it seems the driver is maintained in OpenWrt only, except tree-wide
in-tree changes. According to OpenWRT maintainers it would be ok to
remove the driver in mainline and keep it downstream only (see linked
conversation).
