If "users in mainline" is the criteria that's a word.

So you agree we remove the following drivers?:

 - pwm-hibvt.c
   Last driver specific change in Feb 2019, no mainline user
 - pwm-sprd.c
   Last driver specific change in Aug 2019, no mainline user

Most PWMs are added to cpu.dtsi files with status =3D "disabled", I wonder
if it makes sense to check the machine.dts files if some of the PMWs are
completely unused. Do you consider status =3D "okay" a use that we have to
retain even if the node has no phandle?

Best regards
Uwe
