Hello CK,

I'm sorry, but I really have to disagree here.
Sure, the future may not happen, but from what I can see, MediaTek's commitment
on upstreaming their SoCs is continuative and they care about the future.

Let's also not forget that these drivers are not on a downstream tree, where
you don't care about the past or the future, but on upstream, where you:
- Definitely care about the past
- Should care about the future, if you want to avoid commit noise and
   making big changes to your drivers everytime, which would slow down
   your upstreaming due to reviewers having to put 3x efforts on each
   iteration.

And let's also not forget that this being upstream means that these drivers
may (or may not) be extended even by passionate community developers, for
which, having such mechanisms there for other SoCs that MediaTek didn't try
to upstream yet can only be good - and when these are engineered with a
certain flexibility, while keeping the codebase solid, that can only be good.

Besides, if I've misunderstood your "don't care the future" statement,
pretend that I've never replied.

...but I agree on that one (and I gave my own review and suggestions on
how to improve that situation).
