Commit 399516ab0fee ("MAINTAINERS: Add a bunch of legacy (UMS) DRM drivers")
marked these drivers obsolete 7 years ago.
And the mesa UMD of these drm drivers already in deprecated list
in the link: https://docs.mesa3d.org/systems.html
3dfx Glide-->driver/gpu/drm/tdfx
Matrox-->driver/gpu/drm/mga
Intel i810-->driver/gpu/drm/i810

ATI Rage 128->drivers/gpu/drm/r128
Silicon Integrated Systems->drivers/gpu/drm/sis
VIA Unichrome->drivers/gpu/drm/via
v1->v2:
1.Add drm via driver to the patchset.
2.Remove related drm_pciids.
3.Remove related drm uapi header files.
4.split to series avoid large patch email.

As the author of said patch - calling them obsolete was a bad decision
on my part.
They are effectively orphan with no maintainer and no other driver(s)
that provide the same, or equivalent functionality.
As a DRM newcomer I would recommend sticking to smaller and more
tangible tasks. The TODO list has plenty of varying complexity.
