Actually I was about to remove it last year but an mv78200 user came with a bug fix on the gpio driver used by this platform: http://marc.info/?l=linux-arm-kernel&m=140639461108781&w=2
While he seemed interseted to use a mainline kernel we don't have any news for one year: http://marc.info/?l=linux-arm-kernel&m=141391779222342&w=2
