That's Greg and Eric's decision.  

The vc04_services was already checked into staging when I was asked to
submit some ARM64 patches to remove some compiler warnings. My goal has
always been simply to get ARM64 to work, and I can probably accomplish
that by submitting changes to the RPI specific tree.

I'm just saying that IF the decision was made to continue upstreaming
these drivers, then I'm willing to continue helping by submitting
improvements.
