Hi Jakub,

You are right. I will submit a patch to mark the SUNPLUS ETHERNET DRIVER
as Orphaned, as I no longer have the hardware or the capacity to maintain it.

I contacted the managers at Sunplus, but they have declined to take over
the maintenance position.

Thank you for your understanding, and sorry for any inconvenience caused.

Best regards,
Wells Lu
