where a driver is being moved to staging because it does not have a
maintainer and the only changes to it for some time have been due to
kernel API changes.

It's also in a non-working condition and we are very confident
nobody is using it.

It hasn't been maintained at all for years, it's just taking up
space.

this is the first I have seen anyone say that the driver doesn't work, everything prior had been "I don't know that it works, do you?"

I agree that it's unlikly that many people are using this.
