Sounds good. If you are still interested in keeping the code alive, we
shouldn't drop it upstream. Can you also add a defconfig file that
enables all the gemini specific Kconfig code plus whatever you use
in OpenWRT?

Part of the reason why the platform was so broken is that it never had
a defconfig, and we didn't notice the bitrot.
