The machine_is_netwinder() function is autogenerated from
arch/arm/tools/mach-types, I would assume that the driver
still works as well as it ever has.

However, I have marked most arm32 board files including
this one as deprecated this merge window, and expect that
we can remove the platform and all associated drivers
for 7.4 or 7.5.

Please keep the driver for now, until we are sure the
platform removal goes ahead. I have already written
a patch to remove it, and plan to send it once the platform
removal is queued in the soc tree. I'll also take
care of nwflash, ds1620, mxc-rnga, and bh1770glc.

No need to fix any bugs in the driver though.
