I am sorting out stuff which needs maintaining from obsolete gunk, which is not
used anymore and which doesn't need any maintenance effort or no one cares for
it anymore and there's no point to waste precious resources for.

    EDAC/thunderx: Orphan it
    
    Robert doesn't have hardware to test patches anymore and no one else has
    shown interest in maintaining this driver, so orphan it, for now at
    least.
