Neither Redpine Signals nor Silicon Labs seem to care about proper
maintenance of this driver, nor is there any help, documentation or
feedback on patches. The driver suffers from various problems and
subtle bugs. Mark it as orphaned.

This is really unfortunate but I don't see any other option. I hope that in
the future the companies would change their minds and start contributing to
upstream again.
