Then I misinterpreted your suggestion. But removing the dead code
remains the easiest way out, of course. (Note that the code has only
been dead since v3.8, ie only a year now.)

Jean and you are included in (some of) the threads regarding a few
blackfin patches I sent last year. I forgot why you two are. Anyhow,
those patches were (mostly) ignored by the people working on blackfin.
The maintainer appears to be more responsive now. So I figured it might
be worthwhile to send reminders. Maybe I have more luck this time.
