Let's start with this one (zoran) then, as Mauro is keen on having
all media drivers compile-testable on x86-64 and arm.

Trent Piepho and Hans Verkuil both worked on this driver in the
2008/2009 timeframe and those were the last commits from anyone
who appears to have tested their patches on actual hardware.

Trent, Hans: do you have reason to believe that there might still
be users out there?
