Greg - do you want me to resubmit a v3 for this, or does it not really
matter and we can address this in another series? Personally, I'm
erring on the side of wanting to get *something* merged sooner, rather
than doing a v3.

The driver is most certainly still in widespread use. I'd caution
against dropping it from the tree entirely.

The maintainer was changed just last year with this commit, when
Shigekatsu Tateno became maintainer instead of Rupesh Gujare:

commit 96747a8f4e7d187f236ad392d86a37a4d1ba0b32
Author: Rupesh Gujare <rupesh.gujare@xxxxxxxxx>
Date: Mon May 19 15:17:30 2014 +0100

staging: ozwpan: Change Maintainer

I will be not able to work on ozwpan driver anymore.
Remove my name & add Tateno as maintainer.
